[Update: Facebook access is back up for most affected users.]
Many Facebook users are seeing the social media service as currently inaccessible. Issues appear limited to the East Coast of the United States.
At the time of writing many users are noticing Facebook being unavailable on the web and mobile, seeing error messages like the image above.
Facebook notes that it is aware of the outage and is working on restoring access as soon as possible.
Facebook is down. We are free.
