Security experts have said an inadvertent mistake or sabotage by an insider were both plausible.\n\"We want to make clear at this time we believe the root cause of this outage was a faulty configuration change,\" Facebook said in the blog.\nThe Facebook outage is the largest ever tracked by web monitoring group Downdetector.\nThe outage was the second blow to the social media giant in as many days after a whistleblower on Sunday accused the company of repeatedly prioritizing profit over clamping down on hate speech and misinformation.\nAs the world flocked to competing apps such as Twitter and TikTok, shares of Facebook fell 4.9%, their biggest daily drop since last November, amid a broader selloff in technology stocks on Monday. Shares rose about half a percent in after-hours trade following resumption of service.\n\"To every small and large business, family, and individual who depends on us, I'm sorry,\" Facebook Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer tweeted, adding that it \"may take some time to get to 100%.\"\n\"Facebook basically locked its keys in its car,\" tweeted Jonathan Zittrain, director of Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society.\nTwitter on Monday reported higher-than-normal usage, which led to some issues in people accessing posts and direct messages.\nIn one of the day's most popular tweets, video streaming company Netflix shared a meme from its new hit show \"Squid Game\" captioned \"When Instagram & Facebook are down,\" that showed a person labeled \"Twitter\" holding up a character on the verge of falling labeled \"everyone.\"\nInside a Facebook group for ad buyers, one member wisecracked after service returned that \"lots of people searched today 'how to run google ads for clients.'\"\nFacebook, which is the world's largest seller of online ads after Google, was losing about $545,000 in U.S. ad revenue per hour during the outage, according to estimates from ad measurement firm Standard Media Index.\nPast downtime at internet companies has had little long-term affect on their revenue growth, however.\nFacebook's services, including consumer apps such as Instagram, workplace tools it sells to businesses and internal programs, went dark noon Eastern time (1600 GMT). Access started to return around 5:45 pm ET.\nSoon after the outage started, Facebook acknowledged users were having trouble accessing its apps but did not provide any specifics about the nature of the problem or say how many users were affected.\nThe error message on Facebook's webpage suggested an error in the Domain Name System (DNS), which allows web addresses to take users to their destinations. A similar outage at cloud company Akamai Technologies Inc took down multiple websites in July.\nOn Sunday, Frances Haugen, who worked as a product manager on the civic misinformation team at Facebook, revealed that she was the whistleblower who provided documents underpinning a recent Wall Street Journal investigation and a U.S. Senate hearing last week on Instagram's harm to teen girls.\nHaugen was due to urge the same Senate subcommittee on Tuesday to regulate the company, which she plans to liken to tobacco companies that for decades denied that smoking damaged health, according to prepared testimony seen by Reuters.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":820453878,"gmtCreate":1633421472859,"gmtModify":1633421472998,"author":{"id":"3564273707562524","authorId":"3564273707562524","name":"sreekumar","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a97ddc4bafacadd0b5f9e66fabe6bbf9","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Short term pains for the share price","listText":"Short term pains for the share price","text":"Short term pains for the share price","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/820453878","repostId":1129744342,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":820450327,"gmtCreate":1633421268931,"gmtModify":1633421269365,"author":{"id":"3580097723820791","authorId":"3580097723820791","name":"ethanolll","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0541395faed1506636b2f0dcd1699d5","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/820450327","repostId":1129744342,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":6098411,"gmtCreate":1633421276978,"gmtModify":1634721466581,"authorId":3580097723820791,"author":{"id":3580097723820791,"authorId":3580097723820791,"name":"ethanolll","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0541395faed1506636b2f0dcd1699d5","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":820450327,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"👍","text":"👍","html":"👍"}],"langContent":"CN"},{"id":820426367,"gmtCreate":1633420430782,"gmtModify":1633420431036,"author":{"id":"3586074983708406","authorId":"3586074983708406","name":"Bryonie","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40e9091aa418c1a4602b3db85fa8cf56","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Mark had&nbsp;apologies for that","listText":"Mark had&nbsp;apologies for that","text":"Mark had apologies for that","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/820426367","repostId":1129744342,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":820420893,"gmtCreate":1633418820805,"gmtModify":1633418863049,"author":{"id":"3568786704362500","authorId":"3568786704362500","name":"Heng8818","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3764044eede2191369830316254f5b6e","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Sad","listText":"Sad","text":"Sad","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/820420893","repostId":1129744342,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":820484528,"gmtCreate":1633417145844,"gmtModify":1633417146776,"author":{"id":"3565687171198207","authorId":"3565687171198207","name":"Holla","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c0b0e402ff8043410cc67ffccbfe2174","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/820484528","repostId":1129744342,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":26,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko;
