This might be the end of Facebook if it lasts long enough. Invalidating people’s sessions on apps? That’s a HUGE cost. There’s a huge % of users that won’t be able to get back in.

I've known several people who, when they got signed out, couldn't remember their password and access their email, and so made a new account. I'm sure Facebook will see a spike of this.

Well, I've been spitballing 1-3 years for effects of layoffs to affect company performance, so this timeframe is about right

Shortly before I received password recovery codes to my email, from all facebook accounts I have.

My email requires 2FA, as does my facebook account, but when I went there and clicked "forgot password" there was an unknown email address added to my account. That shouldn't be possible.

It seems to not just be Meta - sites like Downdetector[0] are showing a spike in reported issues from AWS, Google services, and X/Twitter as well. I noticed issues with Google myself. [0] https://downdetector.com/

The sparklines on Downdetector's homepage can't be compared to each other. Spikes that look similar can actually have a difference of several orders of magnitude. Only meta's services have truly large spikes.
