In response to a recent trend of people flocking to rival apps such as Twitter and TikTok, Facebook shares dropped 4.9 percent on Monday, the most since November, amid a broader selloff in tech stocks. After a whistleblower claimed that Facebook prioritized profit over hate speech and deception on Sunday, the the social media giant was hit by another outage on Tuesday. Downdetector, a monitoring group, has observed the largest outage Facebook has ever experienced. We believe that a faulty configuration change was the cause of this outage at the moment, Facebook stated in a blog post. It was possible that either an insider sabotaged the system or an inadvertent error occurred. Several employees declined to be named.Īccording to these employees, other tools and resources reliant on the same network contributed to the error.
An internal mistake in how traffic to Facebook’s systems is routed may have caused the outage, Reuters earlier reported. It is unclear who performed the configuration change and whether it was planned, as the company indicated in a late Monday blog post. A nearly six-hour outage on Monday that prevented Facebook’s 3.5 billion users from accessing its messaging and social media programs, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, was blamed on a “faulty configuration change” performed by Facebook.
