Facebook and other platforms Down...
Facebook and its Instagram and WhatsApp platforms were down in parts of the world today.
The company said it was "aware that some people are having trouble accessing Facebook app" and it was working on restoring access.
The company did not say what might be causing the outage, which began around 11:45am ET Monday (4.45am NZT today).
It is normal for websites and apps to suffer outages, though one on a global scale is rare. Users reported being unable to access Facebook in California, New York, Europe and New Zealand.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
