Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp go down worldwide

By The Nation

 

 

Thai and worldwide users of Facebook and Instagram on Sunday afternoon were unable to use such social media services, as the systems seemed to be down.

 

People trying to access and use their  Facebook and Instagram accounts found the sites displaying a 'can't be reached' message since about 6pm (local time).

There were also reports that another chat program called WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, was also down during the same period.

(Reuters) - Facebook Inc said it restored services on Sunday after some users could not access its social networking site, photo-sharing network Instagram and messaging app WhatsApp.

 

However, Facebook did not specify the cause or scope of the outages.

 

"Earlier today, some people may have experienced trouble connecting to the family of apps. The issue has since been resolved; we're sorry for any inconvenience," a Facebook spokesman told Reuters.

 

The issue comes after Facebook experienced one of its longest outages in March, when some users around the globe could not access Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp for more than 24 hours.

 

On Sunday, Downdetector.com indicated that there were more than 12,000 incidents of people reporting issues with Facebook at its peak.

The outage monitoring website also showed that, at the peak on Sunday, there were more than 3,000 incidents of people reporting issues with WhatsApp and over 7,000 with Instagram.

 

Downdetector.com's live outage map showed that the issues were mainly in Europe and Asia.

You can drive a Newfie (Canadian province of Newfoundland) crazy by tying their feet together at a square dance.

Probably the same for Thai, drive them crazy by locking them out of their Fakebook account.

Until the report can be read on facebook, no one here will believe it.

It would be interesting to see these sites, or the Internet itself, go down for a week and see what happens. Still waiting for that perfect solar storm to hit.

I always say that you could drop an atomic bomb next to these Facebook (and mobile phone) addicts - and they wouldn't even notice! That is how detached from the immediate reality around them these zombies have become.
