Facebook goes down in Australia
Facebook went down across parts of Australia for 30 minutes just before lunchtime on Tuesday and the world couldn’t cope.
Facebook have yet to confirm what happened but the world turned to Twitter to vent their frustrations.

They thought they might have to resort to TALKING to people. Imagine.

Twitter usage spiked to unusually high levels while we waited for Facebook to sort things out.
Hey Twitter, just chilling here trying to outlive the 2017 Facebook crash. How's everybody going?#Facebookdown#WhatNow

And then we were hugely relieved when Facebook returned.
