Facebook issues - don't panic

Facebook and a few other entities are having issues this morning.  Don't panic like I did and think you have been hacked.  It is widespread.

@JillyMarie , thank you so much for this info. For the past hour or so, I've been trying to log into Facebook with no luck.    Have you heard exactly what is wrong and when it might be fixed?

Thanks, @JillyMarie!  I went through the same thoughts this morning after trying to get in but checked with a couple of friends and they had the same issue so checked out DownDetector.  What a relief!!  But no Facebook, Messenger nor Instagram with my morning coffee!!!  Ack!!  lol

Haven't seen any cause or fix reported yet.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I have 3 Facebook accounts and can't get on any of them.  Called my sister and hers is down too.  I wonder if they were hacked?

Why would anyone panic that FB is down?

@KingstonMom Just maybe thinking you've been hacked & trying to fix the problem if you don't know it's widespread.
