SHOCKING! Social Media Meltdown: Facebook and Instagram CRASH! The Internet ERUPTS as Meta Services Plunge into Chaos!

The Internet ERUPTS as Meta Services Plunge into Chaos! 

Services reject login requests, and feeds stop while Google's platform also has login issues.

As of Tuesday afternoon UK time, Facebook and Instagram are having serious problems. Attempts to log in are being rejected, and feeds are stagnating. At approximately 3:30 PM GMT, the disruptions were first detected.

Interestingly, the outages at two IT giants that mostly manage their own infrastructure appear to have been caused by the same issue as login issues on Google's platform.

Numerous interruptions were recorded on Meta's business status website, including "major disruptions" for the group's admin centre and Facebook login, which enables users to access third-party services by using their Facebook login credentials. This has thus caused some reported outages at numerous other websites.

With the exception of the Instagram Messenger API, all services were listed as "unknown" on the whole status page, which was updated by Meta at 4 PM GMT. It appeared that several Meta services, like Facebook Ads Transparency and WhatsApp, were still operational. The Meta status website went down at 4:15 p.m.

Facebook spokesman Andy Stone stated in his first tweet in a week: "We're aware that some users are experiencing difficulties using our services. We are currently addressing this.
Around 3.30 p.m. GMT, according to Google's advertisements status page, the company's Ad Manager was disrupted. The business declared that it was looking into rumours of further problems. However, compared to Meta, the company's glitches are less severe, as the most of its user-facing services—such as YouTube and Search—remain operational. However, other business clients, like the Guardian, have experienced issues with the company's login service.

Although users of websites like X and Microsoft Teams have also noticed occasional problems, a systemic internet problem is most likely the fundamental culprit.
The disruptions are not expected to be as bad as Facebook's 2021 outage, during which the firm inadvertently erased its own address from the systems that enable servers to communicate with one another over the internet due to a setup error in a little-known protocol called BGP.

Even though the error was discovered right away, it took several hours for the solution to be implemented. This was partly because the company's engineers were unable to use their corporate passes to bypass the electronic locks and obtain physical access, nor could they remotely access their own servers to address the issue.
