Is this normal, or are things getting more out of hand than normal?

My wife has been getting those fake CBC ads on Facebook and it's frankly disgusting Meta/FB aren't stepping up and doing something about this. They have shadow profiles that track and collate all your logged out activity, but they can't figure out who's posting the same ads that violate terms? I call BS, they don't want to find them and lose money.

With it being called a technical briefing, it's probably pretty benign. But...maybe it isn't?

With it being called a technical briefing

If that's what it is, I suspect it will be explaining how Canada isn't vulnerable to voting machines being compromised (because we don't use those), ballot security, vote count scrutiny and similar things that people may be misinformed about.
