The Story in Brief
Thousands of Facebook users in the United States reported being unable to access the social network on laptop browsers Thursday morning, while the mobile app continued working normally. Outage tracker Downdetector logged complaints from states including Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, and California.
Users said the site showed 'This site can’t be reached' on Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Opera. The Facebook app remained accessible on phones. Meta, Facebook's parent company, has not yet commented on the outage.
The Indian Opinion
This is a minor login glitch affecting only the website on some laptops, yet it triggers panic online. The real story is our overdependence on a single platform. Will Meta even bother to explain, or will the fix be silent? The number of sustained complaints on Downdetector in the next 24 hours will tell us if this was truly widespread or just a browser hiccup.
