I am facing the same problem here. And I think there are a major problem of of facebook as a result others which are also managing by facebook namely whatsapp, instagram etc. It is top of the news of the world for now. Probably you have not seen news from any media thats why you do not know about it.

Yes, it not all the social media that's not working but only those that belong to the Facebook empire.
We don't the reason why all the social media that belong to the Facebook empire all went down but I believe it will be a serious tech problem.

It sounds like they were hacked or there is some sort of government intervention that we will soon learn about. I know they were a small monopoly (Google is the elephant in the room) but perhaps this is a new precedent that they can just shut down anyone they want without warrant if they post misinformation about COVID. It all links to the new medical tyranny we seem to be under.

OK so its about "hate speech" meaning our glorious censor will get to clamp down on the first amendment that much more.

It's not first time when Facebook goes down, but I can't remeber that they were down for so long - maybe 5-6 hours already. It's kinda strange to not be able to use Facebook, but I think it's not that bad thing - I waste too much time there.
It's fun to see Facebook communication where they said that ''some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products.'' It's just ridiculous attempt to reduce scale of issue when whole world facing it

The issue is apparently related to problems with Facebook's DNS records. When a user goes to a Facebook-owned domain for one of their services, the user will be directed to an incorrect server associated with an IP address that is different than that of the correct server. This is affecting all facebook services, including its internal services.

The problem is already solved, at least I can now access facebook, instagram and whtsapp, this time they took a long time to fix the problem and this shows that people shouldn't be addicted to zuckerberg social networks.. I don't use it much facebook, instagram and whatsapp so i wasn't worried about them not working.

I don't use these social networks very often, I had even forgotten about them when they stopped working

I gotta admit, I enjoyed a bit of schadenfreude towards Oculus VR owners. Unfortunately a few years from now we'll probably have cars refusing to run when some domain gets pwned.

They are now back up and running after a long hours shutdown it was said because of networking issues. I was a thinking it was good thing, having a break from social media because some people are so obsessed with online world and forget about the real world they are living in. I know there are also some positive effects because it can make the world really small by bringing people together despite being apart but spending too much time on social media can also affects mental and physical health.

This problem has been seen in many parts of the world that social media is not working at all. I think their site is getting some new updates so this is a problem this often happens when there is a problem with the server multiple users have expressed their problems through twitter meanwhile, facebook said through their website something has gone wrong. Trying to fix the problem as soon as possible it is not yet clear how long this problem will last.

It's now back and with those early thoughts that I've read in other forums, they've said that it's all about the congress hearing and FB did it intentionally and it's not a coincidence that their servers were down. I don't know the whole thing since I don't reside in the US.

No it ws not intentional and there were so many rumors spreading on the twitter, the only social media platform online at that time of outage.
This was the stance from the company.

"Our engineering teams have learned that configuration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers caused issues that interrupted this communication. This disruption to network traffic had a cascading effect on the way our data centers communicate, bringing our services to a halt," Facebook said in a statement."

It is not a hacking issue and I'm yet to find out the cause but footing what suchmoon said: "Unfortunately a few years from now we'll probably have cars refusing to run when some domain gets pwned." I believe it domain issue.
Meanwhile, I noticed a feature was added to WhatsApp settings that will allow anyone to add people to any group on WhatsApp if the setting is not changed to "my contact".

Now I understand you. However, you shouldn't have base your conclusion about the issue footing what an influencer posted on Twitter cause those people can be funny at some point just to create hype, and the last time I checked the picture was edited.
If you check this link https://whois.domaintools.com/facebook.com
 which was what I checked yesterday it shows that non of the domain is available for sell.

Thank God it's now back,I failed to notice it because through out that period,I was occupied with my other jobs that I couldn't come online.I did not even hear of it,but it was later that I was told that the internet's were not working,I tried opening immediately,and it opened,so I didn't notice it.
But personally I think that happens as a result of multiple users,and I also think that the person in control just wanted to prove to people that he is able to control it.
For that few period of time,people were frustrated because they couldn't have access to their online work.Thank God it now perfectly ok.

[Maestro75]

The problem with those sites been down has been solved now and it will be good for this topic to be closed with the thread locked. The moderators or op should do that to avoid people spamming here.

You were lucky not to have witnessed it because it was very frustrating for some of us who tried to log in but could not. It was as if the world hit a rock.

Maybe you should check your social media again cause the problem had been resolve and because of this Mark had lost about $2blllion in his fortune making him to fall from the 4th richest man on Earth to 5th richest. So you don't have to complain again. The breakdown in Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram lasted for five hours without notice.

Dude, seriously? Look at date when OP made this thread - it's not that he posted it recently. Few days ago when he posted it all Facebook owned social media were down.
And yeah, it's obvious that this downtime cost a lot of money. Even few minutes downtime is serious thing for such website and now we talking about whole 6 hours.

[tabas]

Did you guys have experienced the outage again? I haven't experienced it and didn't know about it until these media posted it.
Facebook and its apps suffer another outage.
