What Happened to Facebook? Mass unsubscribe kicks users off the social media platform

The internet was buzzing with the mysterious outage of the social media platform Facebook, when users reported that their timelines got stuck and they were forced to log in again.

It kicked off Friday night, according to downdetector.com, a website and application monitoring service.

Saturday morning it turned out that the problem had been solved.

“We are investigating reports that some people currently need to log in again to access their Facebook accounts,” the company said in a statement. “We think this was due to a configuration change and we are working to get things back to normal as soon as possible.”

The massive unsubscribe was quickly followed up with user memes, as well as a few conspiracy theories.

When users returned to the social giant, it didn’t take long for Senator Bernie Sanders to show up, as people wondered what exactly had happened. Sander’s memes continued to follow a trend over the weekend and only seemed to grow in popularity as a result of the logout.
