A message received around 10:00 a.m. MST this morning indicates that a large portion of the Facebook social media network is down. User reports show a significant, and undetermined disruption across several countries.

In a tweet addressing the outage, Facebook said, “We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience.”
Instagram also addressed the outage on Twitter, saying, “Instagram and friends are having a little bit of a hard time right now, and you may be having issues using them. Bear with us, we’re on it! #instagramdown.”

Given the recent news that Facebook understands very well that it profits by promoting hate and divisiveness, Facebook going down and never coming back is one of the best things that could happen for America and the entire world.
Kill your Facebook before it kills democracy.
