   Is this an EU or Spain issue? I regularly attend at a theatre in Chicago that has socially "sensitive" plays. I often see their ads on Facebook.

      It’s a meta problem

         Meta does not do this outside the EU. It's a EU problem, and was caused by the EU's TTPA enacted last year which imposes heavy bureaucratic compliance process on any advertising that touches on any social or political topics.

         Meta doesn't do this outside the EU, and they didn't do this in the EU prior to the TTPA. Draw your own conclusions about whether this is a "meta problem."

            It’s Meta lobbying against EU regulations that requires to restrict how targeted politics ads can be. Making it a Meta problem

               Failure to comply with burdensome regulation in the way that you would prefer does not inherently make it the problem of those you have burdened.

                  It's their choice among other viable choices, so the "problem" is on their end.

                  If the law mandated exactly one thing, then it'd be the law's problem. Since it doesn't, of course the choice of how to comply can be criticized.
