From that PR it seems partial compliance is what got them burned. They obviously knew what ads were political because they put some information about them up, but not all.
If they had simply not complied at all and tried to blame their customers for not classifying the ads correctly, it might have gone a bit better in their favor.
Related, it's still insane that companies can basically argue "this ad that thousands upon thousands will see cannot be reviewed by hand even once because that would be too hard".
