MENLO PARK, Calif. — Facebook experienced a widespread outage Monday that caused many social media users to jump over to Twitter and make jokes about being forced to communicate the old-fashioned way.
There is no word yet on what caused the social platform to go down about noon.
Facebook was back up and running around 12:30 p.m.
Here are some of our favorite tweets about the outage.
Please do not contact your local PD advising your Facebook is down. Thank you.
