Facebook was back online shortly after 3 pm Tuesday after a nervous 50 minutes that left social media users in Taiwan confused and isolated from their online community.
Users began to report being denied access to the site around 2:18 pm, with the page showing an error message: "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on it and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can."
Media reports from around the globe confirmed that Facebook was inaccessible for nearly an hour. The website was back to normal around 3:08 pm.
In Taiwan, people turned to PTT, the most popular bulletin board system, to vent their frustrations and try to find answers.
"I thought (my account) had been hacked," one user wrote, and nother commented that: "Facebook lost control, sending shockwaves around the world."
"Facebook is down and I don't know where to go to complain about it," a web user wrote on another forum.
The cause of the downtime remained unknown at 3:50 pm, and Facebook had made no responses or comments on the incident
