A man said he had “missed out on a lot of business today” as a result while Ossai Ovie posted: “Some of us lost some amount of money yesterday as a result of the outage.” Others accused Zuckerberg of apologising in a way that implied the world needed him. One user accused the social media juggernaut of arrogance, writing: “Please don’t make yourself more important than you are. “Get off your high horse.” Posting a photo of a man shrugging his shoulders and looking insincere, they said: “‘I know how much you rely on our services…” The social media platforms were up and running by late Monday afternoon. Problems with the services, which are all owned by Facebook, began around 4.45pm BST (11.45am ET), according to online outage trackers, while, the Twitter situation emerged a few hours later. Facebook said in a statement on Twitter: “To the huge community of people and businesses around the world who depend on us: we’re sorry. “We’ve been working hard to restore access to our apps and services and are happy to report they are coming back online now. Thank you for bearing with us.” A blog post from Facebook said the blackout was caused by “configuration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers” which brought “our services to a halt”.
