I wonder if Facebook allows targeting to topic "flat earth" or "conspiracy"? If so, he could have just disallowed ads to these groups and got around the issue.

I wonder if Facebook allows targeting to topic "flat earth" or "conspiracy"? If so, he could have just disallowed ads to these groups and got around the issue. What is more likely is allowing ad targeting to those with an interest in NASA or SpaceX or even just broad topics like space/astronomy etc and just avoid those flat earth users all together.
