Social Media Meltdown: Facebook and Instagram Servers Crash Worldwide

Check out the chaos as Facebook and Instagram suffer global outages! #FacebookDown #InstagramDown

In a bizarre turn of events, Facebook and Instagram experienced simultaneous server crashes, causing uproar among users worldwide. Social media platform Instagram has been down for the past 20 minutes, prompting a flurry of tweets from frustrated users unable to access their accounts. Meta's servers went down on Tuesday evening, impacting not only Facebook and Instagram but also causing difficulties for Thread users.

As users grappled with the outages, the services gradually came back online, alleviating panic among the social media enthusiasts. From India to the US, users reported the outage, with hashtags like #facebookdown and #instagramdown trending on Twitter. The downtime lasted for hours, leading to a halt in the functioning of the popular messaging apps on both platforms.

Interestingly, during the downtime, 'pimps' were reported using Instagram to glorify sexual violence and abuse, prompting Meta to take swift action by blocking access to over 350,000 posts. This incident sheds light on the darker side of social media usage and the challenges faced by platforms in regulating harmful content.
