Facebook is Down

Posted by msmash on Wednesday March 13, 2019 @05:20AM from the outage-reports dept.

Facebook, the world's largest social networking website, is down for many, users say. Third-party web monitoring tool DownDetector corroborates the claim, adding that more than 11,000 people have reported issues with accessing Facebook in the last 30 minutes or so.

Facebook's outage means social buttons and other Facebook functionalities that are embedded all over the web are also facing issue. Update: Instagram appears to be down, too, for some users.

Update 2: In a statement, a Facebook spokesperson said, "We're aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing the Facebook family of apps. We're working to resolve the issue as soon as possible."

  If it wasn't posted on /. I would never have noticed it.

  If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker would destroy civilization.
