Facebook Inc.’s system for buying ads is acting up just days before one of the busiest online shopping days of the year.
The technology, which companies and agencies use to buy Facebook ads, was down for some major users earlier in the day on Tuesday, according to a media buyer and another person familiar with the situation. The system is now back up but working slower than normal, the people said.
