A technical issue caused millions to be locked out of their Facebook accounts and certain co-owned apps like Instagram and Threads on Tuesday.
The issue started around 10 a.m. Eastern Time when some Facebook users noticed they were automatically logged out of the social media platform on computers and mobile devices, with no way to sign back in.
Some users thought they might have been hacked, and tried to implement password resets on their accounts, only for the issue to persist. The glitch also caused Instagram and Threads users to be signed out of their accounts, with no way back in for at least an hour.
The situation appeared to resolve itself for most users by noon Eastern Time, though some said they were still having trouble logging into accounts that were protected with two-factor authentication (2Fa) protocols.

On Monday, a musician filed suit against Mariah Carey for $20 million in a California court, alleging her hit holiday song “All I Want for Christmas Is You” infringed on his copyright.
The lawsuit was filed by Andy Stone, the lead vocalist of Vince and the Valiants.
Stone accuses Carey and her team of copying his 1989 song, also titled “All I Want for Christmas is You,” in compositional structure and half of the lyrics.
He also claims that Carey and her team undoubtedly had access to his version of the song.
“Carey has capitalized on the success of her infringing work. ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ has become a ubiquitous part of popular culture, and Carey’s name has become synonymous with the season,” Stone’s complaint read.
Stone first sued Carey in a Louisiana court in June 2022, but he ended up dropping the claim five months later.

Mariah Carey’s monster holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is under legal fire again after a country singer refiled his $20 million copyright infringement lawsuit claiming he was iced out of proper credit.
Andy Stone defrosted his legal claim and filed it again Wednesday in federal court in Los Angeles after previously dismissing the case in federal court in New Orleans because Louisiana was the wrong venue, one of his lawyers tells Rolling Stone.
“If you look at both songs, you can see that about 50 percent of the words are the same,...
