The outages quickly started trending on Twitter as users flocked to the competing social network to check to see if other users were affected by the down time.
Humorously, the hashtag “#DeleteFacebook” is also trending on Twitter as the company battles continued pushback against the effects its platforms have on younger users.
While some Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp outages only affect certain geographic regions, the services are down worldwide today.
