Facebook went down for many users worldwide on Wednesday — an outage that Facebook’s site attributed to “required maintenance.”
“Facebook will be back soon,” according to a message posted on the social-networking site shortly after the outage began early Wednesday afternoon.
Users quickly began complaining about issues creating posts, as well as looking at content on the website. Others say they have been unable to access the platform altogether.
