Social media giant Facebook looks to be having technical difficulties as the site has been issuing errors to some users. The site has been down on and off during the day.
Update: The site has returned up multiple times but has shown sluggish performance. However, it now seems to be back up and running at normal speed.
"Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on it and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can," is the message many users who are trying to access Facebook might be seeing.
DownDetector reported that the site was having issues as of 7:31 AM EDT. The company has not released any information via Twitter, however, many have already begun tweeting about the issues.
Media site BuzzFeed noticed that there is a discrepancy in the copyright date on the error page. You can check out some of the hilarious tweets that have been going out so far, regarding the technical difficulties.
