It’s Super Tuesday: Facebook, Instagram part of worldwide outage

17

It’s Super Tuesday, when 16 state primaries and caucuses are going on. And so there’s a social media issue going on with Meta, the global behemoth in the realm of influencing.

The social media site used most in Alaska — Facebook — is experiencing a worldwide outage. It has logged users out and refuses to let them back in with their passwords.

The website Downdetector.com also shows that users are having trouble with Instagram, Messenger, Snapchat, Google, WhatsApp, and other popular websites.

This story, written at 7:15 a.m. Alaska time, will be updated as details emerge. At 7:54 a.m., many users reported they are able to access their accounts, while others report they still cannot.
