In reaction to the outcry from the social media users, Facebook communication executive, Andy Stone tweeted, “We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience.”

Also calming the aggrieved social media users who took to Twitter to express their anger was Facebook CTO, Mike Schroepfer, who’s expected to step down from his position next year tweeted, saying “We are experiencing networking issues and teams are working as fast as possible to debug and restore as fast as possible.”

Information made available by several Facebook employees to The Verge also disclosed that the outage made employees resort to communicating through their work-provided Outlook email accounts, although employees can’t receive emails from external addresses. Employees who were logged into their work tools such as Google Docs and zoom before the social outage can still use those, but any employee who needs to log-in with their work email were blocked from access.
