For a while Tuesday morning, it seemed like the entire Internet was united by one overwhelming question: Is Facebook down?
The entire Metaverse was. A technical issue brought down the tech giant's websites, according to Meta communications chief Andy Stone in an X post. At its peak, more than half a million Facebook outages were reported on the DownDetector website between 10 and 11 a.m. m. and users complained that they were kicked out and couldn't get back in. Similar issues have been reported with other Meta companies like Instagram, Messenger, and Threads. Even the Meta Quest headphones scared away users, 9to5Mac.com reports. YouTube, which is not a Meta company, also went down around the same time, although some users reported seeing it if they logged into their Google accounts first. By midday, users reported that first Facebook and then the other services were back up and running.
