Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp fail – and the world goes crazy. The total failure of Mark Zuckerberg’s networks caused funny reactions, especially on Twitter. A choice between “proposed solutions” and a lot of malice.
No new posting, no like, no video chat: In many households, slight to severe panic seems to have arisen on Monday evening. For about six hours, both Facebook and its subsidiary services Instagram and Whatsapp were no longer available – which was quickly reflected in the search engines. According to data from Google Trends, searches for “WhatsApp malfunction” were carried out more than ten million times in Germany alone, apparently in the hope of finding a solution to the connection problem. Here is a graph that illustrates the panic reactions very well:

While technicians from the Facebook services were trying to get the offers up and running again, competitor Twitter struck the hour – and they were also aware of it: “Hello everyone, literally,” tweeted the account of the short message service, which had been on for hours countless Facebook users cavorted. By Tuesday morning (as of 7.30 a.m.) the post had collected around three million likes – and the trend is rising.
“59.6 million nuggets for my friends”
The worldwide total failure caused a lot of funny reactions. “Hi, what can I get you?”, For example, the channel of the fast food chain McDonald’s asked its colleagues on Twitter. Their answer: “59.6 million nuggets for my friends”, which in turn was played back with the counter-question “to eat here or take away”.
Even Whatsapp’s social media department – presumably busy with other things at the time – insisted on saying hello to the competition:
Between “proposed solutions” and malice
The ex-football professional Derrick Johnson at least had a “solution” ready: “Mark Zuckerberg should try to pull the plug from Facebook and put it back in,” tweeted Johnson.
Others posted funny memes or videos that made fun of the Facebook Whatsapp Instagram misery – including the former top runner and multiple world record holder Usain Bolt.
