For almost six hours they could not access the social network and its many applications. Such popular services as WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger wasn&#8217;t working for a few hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"causes_of_the_facebook_went_down\"><\/span><b>Causes of the Facebook went down<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">specialists of the company say &#8220;faulty configuration changes&#8221; to the router were to blame for the failure. Who is to blame for this failure is unknown. Several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> employees, who naturally wished to remain anonymous sources, told Reuters that they believe the failure was caused by an internal error in the routing of Internet traffic to the company&#8217;s systems. Experts agree that both an accidental error and sabotage by someone &#8220;inside&#8221; the company are possible<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We now want to make it clear that we believe the problems are all in the faulty reconfiguration,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> said in a blog post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Downdetector monitoring service claims that it has not yet recorded such a major outage, at least. This was the second powerful blow to the IT giant in recent days. The first is quite rightly considered an accusation last Sunday that the social network had repeatedly prioritized money over the removal of disinformation and hate speech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> users naturally rushed to competitors: Twitter, TikTok, and so on.

But the stock rebounded nearly 0.5 percent after the outage was fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time of the outage, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook<\/a>, which ranks second behind Google in online ad sales, was losing about $545,000 an hour, a huge amount of money that took a toll on the social network&#8217;s owner, shareholders and ad buyers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Mark Zuckerberg, who lost $6.6 billion overnight, there is little consolation, of course, that the day turned out to be &#8220;black&#8221; for the entire IT sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I apologize to all the small and large companies, families and individuals who depend on us,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer wrote in a tweet.

Shortly thereafter, the IT giant acknowledged the problems, but remained silent about the causes and how many users were affected. Dark screens of smartphones and computers remained until almost 6 pm, to be exact &#8211; 5 hours 45 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever problems <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> has financially, the social network is still a popular information resource. so I will tell youhow to create a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">facebook<\/a> page without a phone number. this may be necessary for those who need a fake account, do not want to indicate personal data on this site or your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">facebook<\/a> account is banned. you can create a fake account with the help of our website <a href=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com?ref=seva\" target=\"_blank\">sms-man<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"registering_an_account_at_sms-man\"><\/span><b>registering an account at sms-man.<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com?ref=seva\" target=\"_blank\">our site<\/a>.
