MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – The hashtag #facebookdown trended worldwide on Twitter as social media users in some parts of the world contended with what looked to be downtime for Facebook and Instagram.
Facebook, in a statement at around 3:40 am on Thursday, October 12, cited “a networking issue” as causing trouble with Facebook access. Facebook “started restoring access within about an hour,” so the site should now be back up and running.
