  No general internet problems here. Don't use Fake Book.

  Facebook and other related websites are down. Seems like a major problem, since it's been two hours already.

  This forum is the extent of my social media experience. Tried Facebook for a New York minute. It’s not for me.

  Facebook suffered a major outage across several countries on Monday.

  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 11:45am 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."

  It started around ten minutes to noon EST - DNS servers are getting hammered and most social media is down except for twitter.

  Weird thing is the following message that I came across on Imgur

  No great loss in my book! (I’d better be careful in sharing my opinions on this ;-) )
  I know a lot of people are going to be twitching in their withdrawals though- many good friends too.

  Yes... and because this is my online presence, I'm probably mostly limited to dealing with mostly old, mostly white, mostly guys? Sort of like the NRA?

  Kinda sounds like the USM messages we all got the past few months. Is FB a human?

  I tried posting this story to FB earlier today and think I broke the site, so I'll try it here instead. Which I would not do if it wasn't a perfect story to share with other collectors.

  They may have been trying to install an even worse form of the google search engine. It not only fails to find what you want but it shuts down the internet, too.

  I have AT&T so it's almost always a problem. Today wasn't too bad though.

  Did not bother me... Was driving in a torrential downpour (had to pick up family at the airport)... I know my grand daughter mentioned that she could not access FB while we were coming home... I was too busy trying to keep us alive on the highway to care. Made it safely, so now for a great visit.... Cheers, RickO
