Facebook is still facing 'intermittent' outages for advertisers ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday
One day after experiencing a massive outage across its ad network, Facebook, one of the most important online advertisingplatforms, is still seeing “intermittent” issues for its ad products at one of the most critical times of the year for advertisers.
According to a spokesperson for the company, while most systems are restored there are still intermittent issues that could affect advertisers.
The company said that existing ads were delivered, but advertisers could not set new campaigns or make any changes to existing campaigns, according to several users of the network.
Reporting has been restored for all interfaces, according to the company, but conversion data may be delayed throughout the day for the Americas and in the evening for other regions.
The company declined to comment on how many campaigns were affected by the outage or on whether it intends to compensate or make up for the outage with advertisers on the platform.
And FB has the audacity to send me a message that says, "Happy Thanksgiving, our offices will be closed for Thanksgiving!"
But unlike the problems with bullying, hate speech, and disinformation that don’t impact the ways Facebook makes money, selling ads is actually how Facebook makes money.
In the busiest shopping season of the year for Facebook to have no response and for some developers to still be facing intermittent outages on the platform is a bad sign.
