Facebook and WhatsApp down?

[ThesecondLEM]

Both not working, my friend is having same issue.

Anyone else?

Half the world.

Me. And Instagram too

Everyone else.

There are loads of threads on this. They have all been down since about 5pm, it's a worldwide issue.

Mumsnet is behaving a bit weirdly too

It’s everywhere.

Why is it all of them though? If I were a conspiracy theorist I'd be wondering if somebody didn't want people talking for some reason

Um what 😂😂😂

All 3 platforms are owned by the same company.
So nothing exciting going on I'm afraid.

Does no-one remember that scene in Independence Day when communications are disrupted because of the alien invasion? It's definitely aliens. The four horsemen of the apocalypse are tired and need back up.

All 3 are owned by Facebook is why so use same networking and providers (it's a cLoudflare issue)

The cleaner unplugged the mainframe.
