work place productivity up 300% facebook down. Quick hit the bathroom before it comes back up and everybody has to go update their status. — Stacey Cunningham (@GasketSeal) September 28, 2015
As a result of the blackout, the platform would have lost millions of dollars in advertise revenue during the downtime. The crash affected desktop and mobile as well as its photography platform, Instagram too.
The previous blackout occurred on 25 September and lasted for 20 minutes in total.
