Social Media Users Mock Facebook’s Catastrophic Outage

Following the catastrophic outage of Facebook services including WhatsApp and Instagram that lasted about seven hours, users took to Twitter to mock the social media giant.

Breitbart News recently reported that tech giant Facebook suffered an outage of its services yesterday for about seven hours. Facebook blamed the issue on a “faulty configuration change” and was forced to send employees to data centers to reset certain servers and bring the site back online. The workers reportedly couldn’t even enter secure areas with their ID cards as the security system was offline as well.

During the outage of services, users flocked to Twitter to ridicule the tech giant for the extended downtime, here are just a few of the memes posted:
