facebook is down

Yesterday, January 27, users of Facebook as well as other social media sites worldwide reported that they had problems accessing the website because "something went wrong". Most people thought it was another hack attack from a group of cyber terrorists, but Facebook explains the real reason behind it. In addition to Facebook, Instagram, match-maker app Tinder, AIM, and Hipchat were also offline around 2:30PM PHT yesterday. Updated: only Instagram is currently owned by Facebook. There have been a lot of Facebook and Instagram users reporting that both sites couldn't be accessed from web and even on mobile devices. Update: Not only Facebook and Instagram are down, but also Tinder, AIM, and Hipchat are also offline. Update: There is an unofficial hashtag going on: #facebookdown just in case you want to see what other people have to say on Twitter. The Facebook Gaming Program is officially ending by 2026.
