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

The internet was buzzing about the site’s mysterious outage when users reported that their timelines got stuck and they were forced to log back in.

It started around 9:30 PM, according to downdetector.com, a website and application monitoring service.

Saturday at 1 am 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.

In a deluge of irony (or genius, depending on your perspective), Facebook posted a follow-up message about the outage on Twitter.
