If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already noticed how many of the internet’s most popular sites have just soiled themselves, the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, and many others have just gone down locking the social media addicted away from their scrolling.
If you’ve just tried to log in to Facebook or similar social media, you may have been met with a login screen despite your account usually being logged in with no issues. Your first thought may have been, “oh c**k, someone’s nicked it” but no you haven’t been had, instead someone’s tripped over a cable and knocked off a good portion of the internet.
Looking at downdetector you can see swathes of websites with a large spike of reports at sometime around Half 3 (UTC). Some of these sites include Instagram, Whatsapp, Discord, Google, X (Twitter) and YouTube though the outage didn’t appear to be long-lived as most are getting back on track but it seems the primary outage was with Meta and their apps.
Often during this moments, you’ll find yourself heading over to Twitter which Elon Musk acknowledged in a simple tweet. Though considering down detector shows Twitter as one of the victims it doesn’t really hold much bragging rights.
Well, with the internet recovering from a minor hiccup, I guess we waffle about it for 10 minutes and then back to the usual chaos. We can probably point fingers at Amazon Web Services considering they back an enormous amount of websites.
