Every Facebook-owned app appears to be down in a widespread outage
MSN News ^ | October 4, 2021 | Sarah Jackson

Posted on 10/04/2021 11:20:29 AM PDT by Bubba_Leroy

Users reported having issues accessing Facebook apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Facebook itself on the website Downdetector, which tracks outages and issues across various websites and services.

The issues began around 11:45 a.m. ET on Monday, according to user reports on Downdetector. They appeared to affect users in many countries around the world.

In a tweet addressing the outage, Facebook said, "We're aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience."

Instagram also addressed the outage on Twitter, saying, "Instagram and friends are having a little bit of a hard time right now, and you may be having issues using them. Bear with us, we're on it! #instagramdown"

In a tweet shortly after the surge in outage reports, WhatsApp said, "We're aware that some people are experiencing issues with WhatsApp at the moment. We're working to get things back to normal and will send an update here as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!"

Finally, some good news for a change. Sorry for your loss, but happy for the country’s gain.

Was that even a real ‘whistleblower’???

Sounded more like a MSM plant...for MORE control.

Let me make this clear. I can’t stand Facebook.

I despise Zuckerberg.

My sister, who had a stroke paralyzing half her body, my nieces, other brothers and sisters, some friends....yada, yada....they all use Facebook.

So, thus, I use Facebook.

I’m just explaining why many of us use Facebook. I like Parler much better, of course.

But I am NOT going to tell my half-paralyzed sister to use GAB or other forums that she has not learned. She has use of one hand and knows how to operate Facebook.

We all use Facebook mostly for this reason. I want to know what’s going on in their lives.

A few other people, I note, are in the same position.

Some other people are just plain nasty. People too often like to be nasty on FreeRepublic.

It’s very unbecoming.

I tell you what....if Facebook never comes up again I will be okay with that. Then those that refuse to change will have to.

And Zuckerberg now knows what it’s like to be jerked around.

I like that.

“ I’ve been banned for a few days without knowing why.”

I just got out of doing 30 days when I suggested a penalty for Biden and his treasonous cabal. It said I was promoting violence. Lol

Similar to you with the Husky forum, I only use FB to follow one Thoroughbred stallion and one equine color genetics forum. I have never registered on FB with my real name, email address, etc. So hopefully these precautions have kept me safe from FB’s intrusiveness.

What is that wailing I hear? Billions of teenagers weeping, wailing and rending garments from a lack of “likes”.
