A Million Dollar Loss: Meta Loses Massive Amount As Facebook And Instagram Faces Glitch

Meta’s social media platforms went offline due to a significant outage that affected Meta’s share price all over the world. It reportedly took hours for well-known social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp to start operating again. According to experts, this massive disruption not only disconnected billions of users but also had a significant financial impact on the company. Share price of Meta has dropped by 1.6% says reports.

How much did Mark Zuckerberg lose in

Confusion and annoyance were caused on Tuesday when a large number of users were abruptly removed from Facebook. Issues with feeds and message sending were also encountered by WhatsApp, Instagram, and Threads. In response to these worries on X, Meta’s Andy Stone gave assurances that fixes were being worked on. A statement was issued, “resolved the issue as quickly as possible for everyone who was impacted, and we apologize for any inconvenience.”

The amount of money that Zuckerberg lost as a result of this extended outage has now been revealed by experts. According to Dan Ives, managing director of Wedbush Securities, Mark Zuckerberg lost roughly $100 million in revenue on Tuesday morning as a result of the platforms going down globally.

The cause of the worldwide outage of Meta

Similar to 2021, all of Meta’s owned social media platforms experienced technical issues that led to a 7-hour outage. On the other hand, the problem was fixed in two hours this time. Media was notified by a Facebook insider that the company’s internal systems were unavailable during the outage, and Meta’s service dashboard showed “major disruptions” affecting multiple services.

The outage happened just before Big Tech companies had to comply with the new Digital Markets Act of the European Union on Thursday. There have been rumors that Meta was altering in order to comply, which might have resulted in coding mistakes that caused the outage. To stop people from combining personal information for targeted ads, Meta may be looking into making adjustments such as letting users keep their Instagram and Facebook accounts separate. It’s unclear if Meta’s DMA preparations are related to the outage.
