Some online donation donation Ads don't seem legit

I see so many advertisements online calling on people to donate money to a good cause. And some of them clearly come from trusted & verifiable sources.

But then there are ads like these:

https://www.drove.com/campaign/5f74d2a72689fa000140fc84

These are just examples. I don't intend to dissect them in particular, but the second one asks for a whopping $1.2M in total, in a country with universal healthcare.

These ads have a similar theme:

- A terminally ill child crying and reading off a script

- Their mothers crying and asking for money

- Even the campaign websites look exactly alike.

I don't mean to disrespect the charities if they are genuine, but something seems fishy here. Do social media companies verify these before letting them advertise?
