I can rule it out.

If Facebook did that, or even if advertisers did that and Facebook didn't kick them off, it will put the brand in serious trouble, they'll get fined, etc.

This is the sort of thing small scummy businesses do where the owner can hide behind it, go bankrupt and start again. It's not something a top company would do.
