As long as this is an opt-out setting, and not a community standard, this is a cop-out. The problem is not "our poor users are bombarded with untrue political ads!" The problem is that Facebook has become a cesspool that breeds conspiracy theories and communities of disinformation and denial the same way that stagnant swampwater breeds mosquitoes and other harmful pests. Its tight-knit havens of the willfully disinformed will not opt out of "the real truth" (read: the coordinated distribution of lies). If Facebook was actually interested in addressing the problem of its festering pits of QAnon and antivaxxers and the like, it would start by deplatforming advertisers who intentionally spread lies. No, it's clear that Facebook's intent here is to put up the paltriest, lowest-actual-impact defense against any sort of consequences that legal systems might bring against it.
