Facebook has gone down for thousands of users in the United States and Europe on Friday night, with some unable to access the site and others reporting that porn had flooded their video feeds.

Downdetector.com which measures website problems saw the problems start to occur around 10pm EST. At least 4,800 users in the U.S. reported on Downdetector that they were unable to log in.

The most common issue appeared to revolve around those attempting to log in to the site - which they were unable to do.

I guess Facebook is like the old hand-clap lamp - Hack on, hack off!

Couldn’t happen to a nicer fascist organization and Zukerberg or who ever is running that authoritarian enterprise.

All joking side , there is a serious issue right now with Facebook. Please read and keep your kids FAR AWAY from this app right now. YIKES,’ wrote Mary Katherine Backstrom.

why does ANY conservative still actively have a FB account. They are the enemy they HATE your guts and work to kill everything you stand for.

I feel embarrassed for conservatives still on FB and Twitter like unwanted guests at a party.

they aren’t liberals and THEY DO CONTROL IT!! THE LEFT CONTROLS FB AND TWITTER.

Get OFF of there and let them lose revenue, that YOU are helping put in their pockets. Do you have any freedom on FB and TWITTER when they ban or delete anything remotely conservative?? THEY DO RUN THOSE PLATFORMS.

I’m not on it. Stop shouting. I’m explains why people don’t want to just throw in the towel and let the liberals be the only ones in there. There is also the problem with talking in an echo chamber if only post on a conservative only site

We’re gonna differ on tactics and strategy, but no point killing each other in the mess hall.
