[German]It seems, that the services of Facebook and its daughters Instagram and WhatsApp have (at least temporarily) been down. And that on Thanksgiving Day in the USA.
I myself can currently access Facebook (I don't have an account with Instagram). But on Twitter you can find the corresponding user messages under the hashtags #instagramdown and #facebookdown.

The German page allestoerungen.de shows a strong increase in error reports for the search hit Facebook sind a few hours.
Also downdetector.com shows similar issues. Instagram confirmed on Twitter that they are investigating issues.
We're aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing Facebook's family of apps, including Instagram. We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible. #InstagramDown

Also downdetector.reports a lot of down reports for Instagram, although the reports are already subsiding. The same applies to WhatsApp, which is part of the Facebook conglomerate. The whole thing seems to occur worldwide, since I have seen trouble reports in a search on English pages, but also on German pages (here and here). Any of you affected?
