from WND:
‘They’re showing us what they can do in real-time’
Facebook and several other related social media sites to which modern society has become addicted left users in the lurch on the Super Tuesday primary election day in the United States by going dark.
A report at Metro in the United Kingdom confirmed, “Facebook and Instagram have suffered massive outages, leaving potentially millions of users unable to access the popular social media platforms. The issue appears to be global.”

The report said Threads, Instagram’s rival platform to X, and Facebook Messenger were having issues and WhatsApp, also owned by Meta, appeared to sustain a “small outage.”
Reports from users about system failures reached into the millions.

One observer pointed out the “coincidence” that the problems arrived on “Super Tuesday,” and suggested, “Practice run for November?”
Metro reported,”Within half an hour of the issues first appearing on Down Detector, at around 3pm, the number of reports had passed 90,000 for Facebook, and 15,000 for Instagram. At its peak, more than 250,000 UK Facebook users reported issues, while in the US more than half a million users reported the outage.
User Ann Autumn wrote: “‘My hands are shaking so much right now I can barely type. And my heart is pounding. I couldn’t get into Facebook and I was sure that my account was hacked. But Twitter peeps are confirming the #facebookdown situation. #instagramdown as well. So relieved that it’s not just me.”
