Mark Zuckerberg says sorry for FB,WhatsApp and Instagram outage
Following a total shutdown of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram on Monday evening, Mark Zuckerberg has sent out an apology to all the users of the three social media platforms.
In a very brief statement on his public account the founder and CEO of Facebook, Zuckerberg issued a very brief statement simply saying sorry.
“Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger are coming back online now. Sorry for the disruption today — I know how much you rely on our services to stay connected with the people you care about.”
According to Bloomberg, this was one of the longest and broadest failures in recent memory.
It comes just a day after an explosive interview by a Facebook whistleblower, Frances Haugen on their business model and algorithm that she claimed was all about profit.
Haugen, who is set to testify about the “frightening truth” about Facebook, handed over thousands of damning documents to US lawmakers detailing Facebook’s struggles with content moderation and Instagram’s negative psychological impact on teenagers.
