On Tuesday, March 5, Facebook and Instagram users were ejected out of their systems and unable to log back into their accounts.
According to Meta’s website, there have been over 300,000 reports of Facebook outages and approximately 40,000 for Instagram.
Within an hour, Facebook announced on its official account, “And we are back.” I’m sorry to anyone who were unable to use Facebook earlier today.
The outage is now one of the top trends on X, formerly Twitter, with some users reporting that they were unexpectedly logged out of the Meta-owned social media networks.
Andy Stone, Meta’s spokesperson, responded to the issue in a tweet, saying “we’re aware people are having difficulty accessing our services.” “We are currently working on this.”
Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the founder, chairman, and CEO of SpaceX, has responded to the downtime on Meta’s Facebook and Instagram.
Elon Musk reacted to the development by posting a cartoon photo showing three penguins branded with Meta’s Instagram, Facebook, and Thread logos saluting another penguin labelled with an X logo.
