Shared Partnership v. Meta Platforms, Inc. — 9th Cir. (argued August 12, 2026)
The Ninth Circuit considers whether Shared Partnership waited too long to sue Meta over Facebook advertising policies. Shared says Meta promised useful reasons when ads were rejected but knowingly could not deliver them, and that each later ad purchase created a timely claim. Meta says Shared suspected the alleged problem years before suing, kept buying ads anyway, and cannot revive claims based on Facebook's removal of its pages.
