Six marketers, pursuing a class-action legal complaint against Facebook, have urged US District Court Judge Thelton Henderson in San Francisco to allow their case to proceed. The result of both errors was that Facebook inflated the average time spent viewing ad clips by 60% to 80%. The plaintiffs are seeking class certification under the False Claims Act, which allows people who believe they were defrauded by companies or individuals to file lawsuits for damages. The claimants added that while the metric was adjusted, they were never compensated for their overpayment. Facebook has requested the lawsuit be dismissed, stating there was a lack of evidence to support it.
