It logged me out and told me that my credentials were incorrect; I thought my credentials had been stolen, so I'm kinda personally glad that it seems to be happening to a lot of other people too. I know that's a bit selfish, but :shrug:
Special bonus: today is Super Tuesday, which is when a large number of US states have their primary elections.
I'm sure people will be able to vote even if their vacation pictures are unavailable
We have a small livestock operation, and won an online auction late last night for a pig about four hours away. Facebook was the only listed means of contacting the person, and we were planning on driving to pick it up this morning.
Now I get to re-arrange my day today to deal with that, and will probably have to take a PTO day from work to drive there later in the week.
Real businesses are in fact impacted by Facebook being down - including those not based around Facebook and that you might never expect.

This would prevent people from panicking they've been hacked and/or unnecessarily resetting their password.
Oh dear. Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Threads are all down. and its time to contact the CEO of Meta to bring them all back up. At least Twitter / X is still up, so time to complain about it there.
Discord also seems to be down for me
what are stats for Facebook uptime? i can't remember last time large parts of it went down like this.

I've seen this posted everywhere like it's some grand conspiracy. What is the impact of it being Super Tuesday? Are people worried they can't vote without social media?
Shutting down social media has gone to the top of the list for regimes either "attempting to fabricate positive election results" or "attempting to combat the spread of misinformation about elections".
More sympathetically, for better or for worse (definitely the latter) there will be people trying to look up election information ("what are my local polling hours", "who is on my ballot") on social media websites, who will now not be able to be guided to the correct information.
And rather than an indication that it is not working, I was just told to login again; since the attempts were unsuccessful, I was led to reset my password. Now I have no clue if the password has been reset properly or an old one is used, or login with google is used, or if I will continue to be logged out after they fix stuff. If your service is down, please say "my service is down".
I just wanted to use their oauth login to buy a jonsbo n3 case from AliExpress. Sadge
