I have a hard time believing this criteria you mention prevents anything as we have seen with abortions it will be eroded for political gain over time. The power of censoring is just to great for the government to be meddling in affairs of private business. The government hasn’t chosen to check the actual politicians for saying the blatantly false things found in these ads and until they do so they shouldn’t worry about other ways it’s being spread.
