Facebook Had Largest 2024 Outage So Far: Ookla

Facebook experienced 2024's largest outage, with its March 5 incident affecting 11.1 million users based on Downdetector data, Ookla said Tuesday. Among carriers, AT&T topped the list, with a Feb. 22 disruption touching 3.4 million customers. “Our reliance on technology is so total that for many it feels like the world is ending when a popular site or service on the internet is inaccessible, and 2024 saw many outages that reminded us how much one such interruption can disrupt the daily lives of millions,” Ookla said.
