Facebook down for 22 hours for some users – The Wall Street Journal

DUBLIN — Millions of Facebook users got to experience first-hand what a Facebook-free day feels like when the social network, along with its Instagram and WhatsApp platforms, went down for 22 hours for some users. It's not yet clear what caused the outage, which is unusual. Hilariously, Facebook was forced to use Twitter to communicate with the internet about the outage. Hopefully, the affected users enjoyed their social media-free day – I know I enjoy the days when I choose not to compulsively hop online. – Felicity Duncan
