Facebook outage
This article will be further supplemented…
There is currently a global outage for Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram. All services are down due to a power outage that started around 5:30 p.m. on Monday. This is evident from information from the website Allestoringen.nl.
The problems come with serious consequences. Anyone who uses the messaging apps WhatsApp and Messenger on a daily basis will no longer be able to receive new messages or calls. Better to get started now with the regular phone and texting app on your phone. In addition, you can no longer retrieve new messages on Instagram or Facebook and you can no longer post comments.
Solution on the way
Facebook is also aware of the global problem, and in a tweet the social networking site reports that a solution is being worked on. The exact cause of the technical problem is not yet known at the time of writing.

Meanwhile, striking discussions are already emerging on social media, at least the social media services that do work at the time of writing. For example, we see someone on Twitter mockingly say, “I love it when people complain about a FREE service that doesn’t work.” To which others delicately note that Facebook users pay with their personal data that they share on the platform. Facebook can use that data to sell targeted advertisements to companies.
Someone else notes that Facebook’s strategy and revenue model still doesn’t make you a customer. “You are not the customer, but Facebook’s product. It is the advertisers who have to complain,” notes the critical voice. What do you think of that statement? Let us know in the comments at the bottom of this article.
