Facebook and Instagram are back after major crash

Numerous widely-used online platforms, including Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram, faced an unexpected and extensive outage on Tuesday (Mar 5), leaving users globally unable to access these sites. The disruption impacted communication, information retrieval, and entertainment services, prompting widespread challenges for businesses, educational institutions, and individuals seeking alternatives. The outage, deemed “unprecedented” by experts, spurred investigations by the involved companies to determine the cause and restore services swiftly.

Approximately 90 minutes later, services were restored, yet Meta, the owner of Facebook, maintained silence regarding the reason for the temporary blackout.
