Facebook, Instagram go down

Facebook is suffering outages Thursday, in a Thanksgiving crash. The problems are impacting the main Facebook site, Facebook Messenger and Instagram.

The Facebook-owned WhatsApp messaging service appeared to be working as normal, reports CNET.com.

Reports spiked at around 6 a.m. PT, according to Downdetector, and people are having trouble accessing the sites globally.

"We're aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing Facebook's family of apps. We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible," a Facebook company spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
