On the bright side, with a broad part of social media platforms down today, maybe people will get back to work and boost global productivity since the outage is broad. 

Users began to report issues with the social media platform around 1120 ET. 

Facebook users report the website won't load with an error message that reads: 

"Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on it and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can."

Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone acknowledged on Twitter that "some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products."
