This seems like a particularly egregious aspect of a larger problem; that we allow medical advertising at all. From what I understand some of European countries don't allow advertising for legitimate medicines, let alone snakeoil. That makes a lot of sense to me; the ads for legitimate medicines all seem emotionally manipulative; designed to make people pressure their doctors into writing subscriptions they might not actually need. If facebook adopted a strict "no medicine" policy, they wouldn't have to sort the wheat from the chaff.
