I wonder if some of this could be solved with stricter checks on where an ad-campaign is purchased from and by limiting the reach to that country / region. Say, a company in Overtheristan buys a campaign to target French users it should be prohibited to do so unless it has a physical presence in France which can be sued.
Maybe it would limit the meddling/damage that can be done. Not that this is very elegant, but it seems better then the suggestion often aired in media and politics which discriminate against free speech ...
This sounds silly (probably because it is) but would be interested what the rest of you thinks. Personally I'd have no problem with totally regulating ad-tech in a way that prohibits targeting users in other countries/jurisdictions. Also facebook should be held responsible in that country so that when a genocide like with the Rohinga happens then the CEO of that entity can answer questions in The Hague
