Facebook down: Social network goes dark
Facebook appears to be suffering an unexplained outage, as millions of users on the East Coast of the US are getting a message “Sorry, something went wrong” when trying to access the social network.
According to the web service DownDetector, the outage is spreading westward across the US, and the southeast coast of Brazil appears to be affected as well.
WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger also appear to be out of service, though Instagram is up and running still.
There has been an influx of social media users to Twitter, where they are sharing frustrations - as well as memes poking fun at Facebook - under the hashtag #FacebookDown.
#Facebookdown I tried to open facebook and saw it was down. As an old person, I needed something to do. So I went to the bathroom. :) Who is responsible for causing oldsters around the country to consider their lives and stop posting kitty videos?? pic.twitter.com/mbTw3juZxF
