Facebook Inc has said it is working to restore access to its social media platforms, including photo-sharing platform Instagram and messaging app WhatsApp, after an apparent global outage.
The platforms were down for tens of thousands of users on Monday, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com.

The outtage was enough for me to delete FB, Messenger, Business suite, and whatsapp. Im so sick of having them.
This happened right after the pandora leaks, what a coincidence…
OMG it’s the most toxic chat section just saw few top threads and omg.
Facebook is full of ads and junk contents .
Why they are saving all stupid junk posts & consuming electrical Resources .

Mark Zuckerberg lost dozens of billions of dollars
Facebook is saying no accounts were compromised…just wait…in six months they’ll apologize for accounts being compromised.
I don’t know, but “not only Social Media”, my Security Cámaras Services, was also down (coincidence???) the entire day yesterday. Somebody else has same interruptions??
Lol thought my mum turned off the internet again hehe
Was ist eine Blondine zwischen zwei AfD-Wählern?
Nicht die dümmste.😂
Legend has it everyone just needed to update the apps.
Lol
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a power play from Facebook. “You’re accusing me?? I show you how it is without facebook! And you’ll be happy when I am back finally”
Imagine using the word democracy while promoting censorship
Yes yesterday Facebook wasn’t working but today it starts working instagram is working to
Only really care about WhatsApp. The rest can stay shut down forever and I wouldn’t mind.
Why everyone is blaming facebook? The problem is with you. You are the one who attached urself so much so that without facebook, you feel empty.
So true , delete and get a life.
Small busineses on Facebook suffered a lot
@Sayed Mohidul Islam business is about profit and loss. Nobody should do business expecting only good. 😊
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates🎈
you’re a bot.
Lizard man messed up
Asking zuckerberg to swear on the OATH ‘ be like asking the devil
Facebook is a Corporation. They are criminals. And now they think, and have done, they can CENSOR AMERICA.
Mark wanted to change the system to beat tiktok and it flop
I didnt even know. hehehe .. I haven’t use apps for about four years..😂 🤣😂 🤣
I hope the whole internet goes OFFLINE. And we live as we had in 1990
So women can’t work anymore and schools go totally inactive diring outbreaks?
@Sayed Mohidul Islam where did you live in 1990?🤔
@Matea Matea Bangladesh and also if your dad didn’t have money back then you couldn’t work no matter ur gender nowadays there are a lot more job opportunities because of the internet
Done on purpose to divert the conversation. After news broke out they were abusing the algorithm to increase engagement. SMH
Investing in Bitcoin trading is the best investment that’s more profitable🤑🤑
I can’t stop thanking my lovely husband who introduced me to Dr Nicholas Steven Robert.
He’s availaible on whatsapp
I began by trading with expert Dr Nicholas Steven Robert and now I have make an average of $12,000 per week from thelr account management service.
When you have a good expert like Dr Nicholas Steven Robert you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
don’t have to be surprise because i’m also a huge beneficiary of expert Dr Nicholas Steven Robert
The fact that this is a huge headline and people freaking out shows everything wrong with this world
taking down the FB, IG and Whatsapp servers to wipe them clean after a whistleblower testimony IS a bad thing.
Not had facebook for years
Find whole thing very sad
I didn’t notice…
users of FB need to be shamed by their peers.
i wish this corrupt organisation were never come back up again. KEEP IT DOWN!
Just a stress test on the system to gauge what the 🐑 do. All these social media platforms are Darpa inventions
Shut it down … All down
It wasn’t possibly because they were burning down evidence.. The Zuck would never do that..
Remember the TELEPHONE?? w/the Long spiral cord?? CALL A FRIEND!!☎️👍
REMEMBER when friends use to get together for a cup of Coffee?? IN PERSON!! Social skills!!!!
What do you use during the Facebook , WhatsApp , Instagram are blocked me nothing 🚫

People need to live in the moment and put those smartphones down it only makes you stupid.. 📵
I lost 100,000 followers.
No Facebook may be a good thing. People might go back to their normal lives like it was before the internet became a thing.
Please change your picture, you are perverting the children! Jesus is God and He sees you and wants you to come home.
@D. Lewis Shutup preacher
ur legit typing this on youtube
@ShibeYes, we’re using YT. what’s your point?
Even discontinued Instagram would make people life more easy
AAAAAHAHAHAHHAAHAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
SHITITIITIRTTRRRSSSHHHHHHIIIITITTRTRR!
Those hours without social media where the best
If only it had stayed that way. The world would be a MUCH BETTER place if it never came back and all other social media died with it too.
Also bot a coincidence this happened after the whistleblower.
No Facebook may be a good thing. People might go back to their normal lives like it was before the internet became a thing.
This is why the internet needs to be free and all major platforms open-source or at least publicly owned and subject to basic investigation. I pray this will awaken a change in how we handle these changes and stop their tyranny.
Good.
Why is three apps being down now on the NEWS
Oh, no! Anyway…
I swear anonymous has something to do with this
Got to contain all those national strikes from spreading SMH… I quit in 2020
Zuccs products suck
The Instagram models and influencers are shaking right now
did you really just copy one of the top comments and get 100 likes? *claps*
they are basically in danger when they’re depending a lot on a single closed source platform for free (since the devs can do anything they want with it).
I was at school and I was on YouTube for a while so when I actually used Instagram it didn’t effect me.
:0
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Breaking news huh
I’m only doing YouTube now since I’m on a Facebook break
Imagine if Disney was down or out 😳
😂😂😂👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥳
Hmmm…..whistleblower……did facebook bust out the digital paper shredder?
so are the people saying “media can be wrong/lying” still crazy?
Facebook is basically spying on you. When you are messaging somebody and you go to pictures, the camera is already on. Pluss you can’t uninstall it
It of shut down for ever. Plz. Go off line and never come back.
This reminds me of the time Wikipedia went dark for a day. It wasn’t until then that I realized how often I used Wikipedia.
The best thing to happen,to the world in general, would be they STAY down.
I noticed that new apps got installed on my phone. I didn’t install them. Also my apps got moved around. Weird..
Me that day : *use it normally*
Me now : “Are we still in same timeline?”
Why does anyone CARE Fake book was down???? Why do you use it anyway!!!!
What a “coincidence” that this happens just at the moment a whistleblower comes out with the abuses at Facebook.
Doesnt someone see this “coincidence”?!
Might Facebook not be deleting its tracks of abuse?
These are just test so we are ready when they cut all forms of Communication slowly and then quarantine as all to start the programming those with the vaccines will be the the first to fall.
Open your eyes 👀
I think we Asia and European people don’t need Facebook and Instagram google is enough especially for cultural countries like the whole of Asia. I’m saying this because lots of our religions culture and history had to be slightly destroyed because of this social media especially Facebook and Instagram because this atheism is growing largely in Asia and people now forget there religion culture everything. let the American countries use these toxic social media because there the ones who made this and spreading it. We, Asia, doesn’t need this and that’s the very most reason why LGBT people exist in Asia if someone wants to be gay or a lesbian then the best solution is to fly to one of those American countries where there is freedom for stupid but don’t think in Asia where you will be thrown out a building😂
I didn’t miss a beat.
How about we have a week with no social media. People nowadays are on it constantly just for likes and views.
What is fcbk wtsp nstgrm
If mark buys YouTube I’m screwed since I wouldn’t be commenting all day
Any time you think you see a dead spider about the house just remember it’s actually the outer skin of a spider who has shed it’s skin. So instead of one less spider, you actually have a bigger spider in the house. The thought of your discomfort at that fact fills me with warmth.
All by design the great reset is here
It’s time we pull the 🔌 on Facebook.
Great job 👍
People talking about this it’s like it start world war 3
Mercury Retrograde Right There 😂🤣✨🔥
