Can't get onto Facebook or Instagram? You're not the only one | CBC News

Facebook says it is aware of outages on its platforms including Facebook, Messenger and Instagram and is working to resolve the issue.

That page, which calls the problem a "partial outage," saidFacebook has experienced "increased error rates" since that time.

Downdetector.com, a site that monitors site outages, said the Facebook problem affected parts of the U.S., including the East and West Coast,parts of Europe and elsewhere.

We're focused on working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, but can confirm that the issue is not related to a DDoS attack.

It is a priority for CBC to create a website that is accessible to all Canadians including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges.
