In case it is of interest or helps anyone, we suddenly found neither of us could get FB up - turns out there are widespread problems! So if you can't get it up either you are not alone!
So it wasn't just me then! My WiFi was on, but no Internet,and mobile data wasn't working either, I had mainly problems with WhatsApp! Google and FB worked for me. Wonder what caused, I just turned everything off over night in the end.
The usual reason I believe. Someone carried out an update without checking what the update was actually going to do. We tend to update one machine to look for the effects, carry out checks and ensure that there are no unusual issues before updating ALL the machines. It is an issue caused by having everything done remotely.
Oh how very sad for Zuckerman and his shareholders. The $50bn are just a drop in the ocean for him and I don't think that he is crying into his coffee. He'll probably find twice the amount in the cracks of his sofa and for his shareholders, it will be just a little hiccup
Not really @Flossy 🧁🧁 - I did read the explanations coming out of the company but needless to say didn't understand a word of it!! Knowing what would happen, they probably made even more money by selling 'short'! @renatew5😺🐶
I don't bother with social networking sites. I get the odd message from odd people at times from FB, only because one of my sons follows FB and sends me the occasional funny pic or story, which I, naughty mum, most times ignore or just delete without looking at. It has never caught on with me. Even though, any of you can find my mugshot on FB messenger.

One of the YouTube guys that I support is Jeff Geerling. He is an excellent programmer and presenter.
Have a look at his 'Facebook is down' video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLqH8p1QVpY
Although a serious issue, he makes it sound funny AND serious.
Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp down for about 6 hours. All 'working fine' now according to Facebook management. Wiped $50bn off the company's value!
Thanks for information @harryflatters . Have been too busy today to notice. Presumably it's sorted now. Any idea what it was all about?

Thank you @harryflatters I noticed Facebook messenger not working correctly.
Thank you @harryflatters I wondered as like @nabob it kept saying to check my network. Was just going to try it when it was mentioned on the news. 1🙄
Thank you. I was just wondering if it was our internet playing up..... @harryflatters
