Facebook Server Issues
Facebook Messenger was initially down last October, and it was with other applications that have created a massive panic amidst its applications that also did not work alongside the chat service. This is one of the most massive and extensive outages of Facebook in a long time and certainly for the year, something that has affected the use of its subscribers.
It was resolved after some time, but then it was followed by another server outage after a few weeks, and this one was considered to be connected to its original down issues. The second one was also resolved in a short timeline. However, people fear that it was because Meta Facebook is under heavy fire, with the prosecutors gunning down on them regarding its whistleblower issues.
