Facebook Location Wrong

Facebook went offline for several customers on Thursday, with the world's most popular social network informing users that "something went wrong".

When seeing Facebook.com, instead of seeing the typical homescreen or news feed, customers were welcomed with a blank display and also a brief error message.

" Sorry, something went wrong. We're dealing with it and also we'll get it dealt with as quickly as we can," the message reads.

The outage started at around 5.30 pm BST yet, for many customers, showed up to have been resolved around 20 mins after.

Down Detector, which collects records of prominent services being down, presented outages in the UK, Europe as well as the United States.

Naturally, people took to Twitter to have their say.

The website decreased on Thursday afternoon and also brief-ly showed up to function once more for some users.

A representative for Facebook has actually said they are considering what occurred.

Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook chief executive, went to an event put on by Oculus, the virtual reality headset business Facebook possesses.
