I have a family member affected by those "targeted ads" and can tell you this is hardly comparable to news agencies writing favorably or not about someone. Some people are seriously fucked up because of this. Just look what happened on January 6th.
For the record, I think that both are elections interference. But there's a far cry behind publishing fake news and advertising it to some demographics and fuelling IMF money into campaigns by the billions and embedding foreign advisors into a criminal election campaign.
