22:30 Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp still don’t work. Companies report network connectivity issues, making it impossible to connect to social networks anywhere in the world.

That’s all for today. Thank you for watching the online broadcast. We will bring you more information about the outage in the morning.

22:23 We didn’t get much information from Facebook itself today. A while ago, however, a spokesman for the corporation commented on the whole situation and sincerely apologized to the users: “We’re very sorry about what happened. We have network problems, but our teams are working as fast as we can to get it back up as soon as possible.”

* Sincere * apologies to everyone impacted by outages of Facebook powered services right now. We are experiencing networking issues and teams are working as fast as possible to debug and restore as fast as possible

22:12 According to a New York Times reporter, Facebook employees could not get into the building today because their access cards did not work either. It refers to the source directly from Facebook.

22:07 The world is currently divided into two camps. The former is happy to have a quiet evening without notifications from social networks, while others are disappointed and express themselves on Twitter – the only one of the major social networks that currently works.

One Instagram user is extremely devastated by the outage. “… I’m still updating Instagram. Even though I know it won’t work, I’ll keep trying …”

i keep clicking on the instagram app like a stupid little lab rat pushing buttons for treats. nothing happens but i will keep trying

21:53 At the moment, Facebook’s internal systems do not work either, so employees had to change the ways of communication with each other. A source from the Facebook environment claims that there is “chaos” in the company and people communicate via emails and SMS messages.

21:27 The World Health Organization (WHO) has already responded to the Facebook outage. She remarked on her Twitter that even if social networks are unavailable, don’t put your veil down.

21:21 Google has noticed a strong demand for the phrase “Is Facebook broken?” Interest in this phrase came in Great Britain around 17:00 CEST. In Slovakia, demand increased until 18:00.

21:12 Facebook shares on the stock market fell 5.2%, which is about $ 50 billion. Everything is due to the failure of the most used social network and its subsidiaries.

EXTRAORDINARY Failure of social networks

21:09 Facebook’s mistake has already amused another competing social network, Reddit, which humorously commented on a Twitter post. “How are you, the administrator of the Instagram social network?”

How are you doing, Instagram social media manager?

21:04 The American whistle-blower Edward Snowden, who is responsible for one of the biggest leaks of data on the secret services, also reacted to the outage. He called today “one beautiful day when the world became a little healthier place”

Facebook and Instagram go mysteriously offline and, for one shining day, the world becomes a healthier place. #facebookdown

20:55 This is the only message you will see after loading the Facebook page:

20:38 Would you be able to live without the social network Facebook? Report in our survey.

19:48 Users are arguing on Twitter where to communicate tonight. IPhone owners immediately responded with funny memes, bragging that they could communicate through the iMessage platform, which is only available to iPhones.

19:11 When will Facebook be fixed? The latest news was provided by Facebook at the beginning of the outage, at about half past five, that they were working on a repair. WhatsApp subsequently reassured its users on Twitter that the mistake was not on their side, but on the side of the social network. Many users thought they had something to do with their Internet connection.

19:08 According to The New York Times the outage was not caused by hackers

19:05 Instagram and WhatsApp have already responded to Twitter’s controversial communication

Hi and happy Monday ?‍?

– Instagram (@instagram) October 4, 2021

– WhatsApp (@WhatsApp) October 4, 2021

18:59 Twitter, which greeted all users of the microblogging network, has already responded to the extensive outage of its competitor “Hello, literally everyone.”

– Twitter (@Twitter) October 4, 2021

18:07 The problem persists and Facebook itself has admitted to failing. The head of communication of the most used social network in the world said that they know about the problems and try to eliminate them as soon as possible.

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.
