Facebook and Instagram issues were Tuesday (Nigeria time) reported by glitch-monitoring website Downdetector.
The issues were reported in the US alone and were nowhere on the same scale as Monday’s global outage which also affected WhatsApp.
Facebook’s latest glitches coincide with the appearance of one of its former product managers, Frances Haugen, at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing.
According to Haugen, Facebook’s products harm children, stoke division and weaken democracies around the world.
“I believe in the potential of Facebook but we have to do better,” she told US lawmakers.
Haugen goes on to claim that the social media giant withholds information from the public and governments and will continue to go against the common good if it’s not stopped. She wants the government to censor and regulate Facebook and its entities.
