A widespread outage was recorded in the services of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp today, Monday, affecting at least tens of millions of users, according to a specialized website. The site "Downdetector" noted the disruption of the three social media networks (all owned by Facebook) in densely populated areas including Washington, Paris, and Dubai. Twitter also joined the list of social media platforms that experienced service interruptions. Users reported issues with mobile networks in the United States, which may be related to the disruption of these services. As of the time of this report, the cause of the problem remains unclear, although the company has experienced service outages in the past. In June and April of this year, the social media giant's platforms faced a similar unexpected event due to a "network configuration issue."
