Facebook appears to have gone down for some users again weeks after a global outage left users without Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
The eight-hour outage was left people around the globe unable to connect with friends and family.
On Thursday, the social media platform appeared to stop working for some users.
It doesn’t appear to be anywhere near the level of problems that occurred earlier this month.
Is Facebook down?
DownDetector is reporting hundreds of complaints as social media users struggle to access their Facebook feed.
The social media giant, which also own WhatsApp and Instagram is a crucial tool for businesses.
It comes as the company faced backlash over allegations it is failing to protect young people and prevent extremism.
Despite this, Facebook has recorded profits of nine billion dollars (£6.5 billion) in the three months to September.
Data also revealed the number of daily users had increased 6% to 1.93 billion since the same time last year, while the number of daily users for any of the firm’s platforms – including WhatsApp and Instagram – rose 11% to 2.81 billion in the same period.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
