A global social media outage has caught the attention of the world this morning. Meta owned Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram all went down abruptly approximately an hour ago. Users were logged out of their accounts and are unable to log back in. Intermittent issues have also been reported for Youtube and Discord. Andy Stone, Meta’s head communications, told the Associated Press the company is working on the issue. Service began to be restored to the platforms shortly before noon.
