Facebook and Instagram have been hit by a worldwide outage that has left potentially millions of people unable to access their accounts.

Users found they were mysteriously logged out and not able to log back in, or could not open the app at all.

The outage appears to be global, according to tracking website Down Detector.

Hopefully they stay down. I despise social media. The most socially damaging invention in the history of humankind.

And before anyone starts YBIG is a message board as distinct from social media! (I think).

Have been getting similar and thought someone was trying to hack my account. Couldn't tell you what my password is and sick of resetting it for God knows how many times.

Instagram hasn't been working for me quite a lot in the last month or so. Videos and pages not loading etc..

Seems be happening everyone lately, I read a few posts on reddit saying its probably bots trying to claim old accounts with old email/passwords that were leaked/stolen through data breeches on various sites. As long as you keep updating passwords it should be grand.
