So what you are saying is that it is impossible to regulate? After all, if the regulation was successful then the ads would be approved only after careful human oversight. But if regulation is impossible then the actors can do essentially whatever they please, including allowing ads to be auto-approved.
Well, you said it wasn't true, but then went on to explain how it has held true thus far. If you actually see it as being possible, why not provide evidence of support about the possibility, not evidence to the contrary?
If it is possible, what is holding us back? It was asserted that the regulation is already in place. That is not the stumbling block. It is getting people to actually enforce the relation that is the hindrance.
Enforcement requires using up finite resources. Enforcement is not happening because we don't have the will to use those resources for that purpose. We have other things we deem more important. What is going to change the will? Without a change in will, it is impossible.

No, it would be difficult to regulate, at scale. Just like most things are difficult at scale and history is awash with corporate whining about how doing anything at all to mitigate the harm they do will annihilate them, capitalism and the concept of the free market.
"You can't possibly expect us to get all the children out of the coal mines!"
"How can we function as a business if we have to pay negroes the same wages as whites?"
"The requirement that we have to store pesticides away from employee break rooms is government overreach!"
> No, it would be difficult to regulate, at scale.
The earlier comment pointed out that the regulation already exists. It is just not being regulated – as said to be because it is impossible to regulate. Perhaps you mean it is difficult to regulate? Which is the exact same thing the earlier commenter said.
I mean, sure, in some hypothetical world where there are no constraints one could conceive of how it would be possible to regulate, but in the real world where people have other, competing concerns and only so much time in the day, is there actually the will to regulate it? Without the will then it is, indeed, impossible.
