*Executive Summary:*
On March 5, 2024, Facebook and Instagram, two prominent social media platforms owned by Meta Platforms, Inc., experienced an unprecedented and widespread outage. Users worldwide reported difficulties accessing their accounts, encountering unexpected logouts, and being unable to log back in. This report aims to provide an overview of the outage, its impact, and the official response from Meta Platforms.

*I. Outage Overview:*
The outage affected millions of users, disrupting their daily digital interactions and connectivity. Social media, serving as a vital communication tool, became inaccessible for an undisclosed number of users, raising concerns about the reliability and resilience of major online platforms.

*II. Official Confirmation:*
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Platforms, released a statement confirming the outage. In his communication, he acknowledged the technical difficulties and assured users that dedicated teams were actively working to resolve the issues. The statement emphasized the company's commitment to restoring normalcy swiftly.

Businesses and influencers heavily reliant on Facebook and Instagram for marketing and engagement faced challenges during the outage.

*V. Conclusion:*
As the outage persists, users and businesses alike anxiously await the resolution of the technical issues affecting Facebook and Instagram. Mark Zuckerberg's acknowledgment and commitment to resolving the problem provide reassurance, but the incident underscores the fragility of our digital interconnectedness and the necessity of contingency planning in an era heavily dependent on online communication and social media.

Egbon Mark!! Ki lon se le, E ti ti??

No wonder

Didn't know that.
It's been down for years as far as I'm concerned.

Omo I feel say somebody don sell my account for lazy 5000

It happens. Every major website has downtimes. It's funny how Facebook has had very few compared to a mushroom collective like Nairaland. Reddit also suffers the same.

I purposely come on Nairaland to check if there will be any information about Facebook palarva.

I couldn't logging to Facebook and I even reset my password over and over again.

I was like what happened to my Facebook account or hackers have hijacked it but I was calmed while keep trying to logging.

Meanwhile I activated step two verification on my account before now and I begin to wonder if it can still be hacked despite the security measures.

But now, I can see it's general issues.

Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Instagram went down starting around 10 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, according to Down Detector, a website that tracks user reports of telecommunication and internet disruptions.

More than 3,200 users reported that they were having issues with Facebook shortly after 10 a.m., compared to a base line of 17 such reports on an average day. By around 10:20 a.m., there were more than 350,000 reports of trouble with the website.

More than 53,000 people reported issues with Instagram around 10:30 a.m. and more than 8,800 users reported issues with Facebook Messenger around that time, according to Down Detector.

Meta, the parent company of those sites, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Some users flocked to X to see if others were also experiencing trouble with those sites. One user told people not to panic if they were having trouble logging in.
