What Wrong with Facebook

Facebook went offline for many customers on Thursday, with the globe's most prominent social media informing users that "something failed".

The outage started at around 5.30 pm BST but, for a lot of users, showed up to have actually been fixed around 20 minutes after.

Down Detector, which collects reports of prominent solutions being down, showed interruptions in the UK, Europe and also the United States.

Certainly, people took to Twitter to have their say.
