Downdetector.com, a site that monitors site outages, shows facebook has been down since 6:30 a.m. in much of the world, with thousands of reported outages concentrated in northeastern U.S., Europe, middle east and in someparts of Asia.
It was not immediately clear what caused the outage or how long the platforms would be down.
An email requesting comment about the outage was sent to facebook.

facebook acquired Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014.
There are more than 1.52 billion daily active facebook users, according to the social media network's website.
