Apolitical fact checkers do exist, though you seem to make the argument that the market will not for allow them. But, what I'm suggesting is that FB pay the checkers for their work. Ad revenues are more than enough to underwrite it, and the advertisers will still want to address an audience of that magnitude. So, it would remain to be seen if the remuneration spawned competition to provide the most accurate and credible service, or some form of abuse. The devil always resides in the details.

In the case of Native American heritage it is provable, disprovable, or ambiguous. Any determination has to be based on available evidence. If the result is clear, state it. Otherwise, put the evidence out there so it can be appraised and vetted. But don't allow something to be unequivocally stated as fact if there is reasonable cause to question it.

Political advertisements, in particular, should be held to standards of fact. Recognized, apolitical fact-checkers, outside of Facebook, should be retained to vet any ads before they show. Any factual inconsistencies should be identified, in captions, on top of the relevant scenes. In the case of ambiguity, identify it, with references. If an advertiser doesn't want to submit to such vetting, screw 'em.

Designed to lure the unwary with false promises, these promotions are engineered to trap people in the seductive feel-good of constant optimism. By creating a false duality between optimism and pessimism, they obfuscate the choice of reason, the path of realism. In other words: What you have is half-a-glass of water. Get over it and move on.

The quintessential summation of humanity and it relationship to the cosmos. In other words: remarkably successful cluelessness.
