Six marketers , filing a class - action legal complaint against Facebook , have asked US District Court Judge Thelton Henderson in San Francisco to allow their case to proceed . The marketers , which include bankrupt tech incubator Quirky , claim in the suit that the social media giant 's metrics figures were inaccurate and so prompted an artificially inflated price for ads . The claimants claim that while the price was adjusted , they were never compensated for their overpayment . The companies' argument comes in response to Facebook's recent request that Henderson dismiss the lawsuit. Facebook has requested the lawsuit be dismissed , claiming there was a lack of evidence to support it .
