I reported it on the Downdetector too. Messenger is also down. Someone is testifying about something to do with Facebook. I'm not sure where but wonder if it has anything to do with the shutdown.

@Sojourn Apparently, someone who works there made some mistakes so it was deemed human error. At least, that is the story they are telling. Who knows what really happened. I wonder if someone will lose a job over this.

@akalinus Wow, that's some inside scoop. I hope that whoever did the mistake may get some penalty but not ousted totally.

Yes, facebook almost monopolizes social media across the globe. I am not much of a Fb user though.

@RebeccasFarm I would prefer a 18x7 instead of 24x7 social media or may be 18x6. 24x7 is making people addicted and mad!

I wasn't because I don't use social media sites frequently.

@Lignitecityabishek96 A lot of us thought it was our computers acting up or we were in FB jail. It is good to know that it is a system outage and not anything on our end.

I was not affected though because I hardly use FB and its related products. Though I use WhatsApp to keep in touch with close friends or relatives.

Not on these sites. That's a lot of traffic for their networks, they're bound to crash. Hope it gets back soon

Yeah, that's likely would have happened sooner and later, considering the increasing load everyday faced by their networks.
