I can see a problem with this methodology in that most things can be seen as "political", specifically regarding human rights, and in some oppressive communities revealing your identity while promoting human rights is, if not a death sentence, then at least an invitation to harassment from local authorities.

Without this process, someone else can post those ads in your name in order to get the locals to harass or kill you?

If it is too risky to put ads out under your own name, then facebook's ads are probably the correct place to fight for human rights.

If Facebook accounts for the overwhelming majority of the entire internet experience for some demographics, where am I supposed to fight for change?
