Facebook is down for some, is it working for you?

Summary: Is Facebook down for you?

Facebook just went down a few minutes ago. The social network doesn’t seem to be working correctly for some people. It’s working just fine for me, is it working for you?

At the time of writing, downforeveryoneorjustme.com/facebook.com said Facebook was down, but after I published, it said it’s back up: “It’s just you. http://facebook.com is up.”

Meanwhile, downrightnow.com/facebook says Facebook’s current status is “Likely Service Disruption.” You can see what I mean in the screenshot above.

This seems to be a small blip rather than a worldwide outage. I have contacted Facebook and will update you if I hear back.

Update: “Earlier today, some users briefly experienced issues loading the site,” a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement. “The issues have now been resolved, and we are back to 100%.”
