Meta’s Facebook and Instagram Go Down!

Contact Your Elected Officials

At about 10:49 this morning Eastern Time Downdetector.com website reported a spike of outages of both Meta’s Facebook and Instagram social media platforms around the country.

Users are being met with a pop-up reading “Session expired, please log in again.” After going to the log-in screen and entering their personal identifier (email or phone) and password users report a message reading “Unable to log in. An unexpected error occurred. Please try logging in again.” Some users are being met with a message “The password you’ve entered is incorrect.”

Tracking website Down Detector showed vast outages at Instagram, Facebook and Messenger on Thursday, however. The problems are spotted across the world, suggesting that the outage could be global.

While Meta does operate a status page for its business products, including advertising on Facebook and Instagram, that page indicated all of its products were working as expected.

WhatsApp, which is also owned by Meta, appeared to be working as properly and unaffected.

The outage comes on a Tuesday which is a Primary Election Day for 16 states.

A number of foreign countries hostile to the United States attempt hacking of our websites but as of this writing, the website Bleeping Computer had no reports on this outage.

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg is the founder, chairman and CEO of Meta, which he originally founded as Facebook in 2004. Earlier this year he sold off a large number of his stock shares. While he does own stock worth $120.5 billion, his ownership spot is now only 13.5% of the total which is still the most stock by a single shareholder. Vanguard is now the No. 2 largest owner of Meta with a 7.1% stake.

The reason for the outage is unknown. This is a developing story.
