Updated Those trying to log into Meta's Facebook, Instagram and Threads for their social media fix are facing panic this morning after being banned from their accounts.
Meta outage: Facebook, Instagram down for users worldwide
"We're aware that people are having trouble accessing our services. We're working on this now," Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said in a social media post previously shared on Twitter. X is still up and running, presumably to much delight for Elon.
"We are aware of an issue affecting Facebook login. Our engineering teams are actively trying to resolve the issue as quickly as possible," Meta added on its status page in a post timestamped at 0717 PT.
People trying to log into Meta-managed accounts are told that their password is incorrect. Those trying to reset their password will be told there is an error and to try again. Needless to say, it doesn't work, people are locked out, and it's basically an outage.
