JAKARTA – Having large resources including servers and sophisticated technology does not make a social media platform safe from blackouts in their applications. This also happened to tech giant Meta, when Instagram experienced a blackout.

Instagram of Meta Platforms Inc announced on Thursday, September 22 that it has resolved an issue that caused a brief outage on its platform for some users the previous day.

As many as 24.000 people reported difficulties accessing social networks, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com.

Some users took to Twitter to share updates and memes about service disruptions, with #instagramdown trending as a hashtag on the social media site. Even the hashtag #InstagramDown had appeared and became trending. Luckily it only lasted five hours.

The day before, LinkedIn also experienced a similar blackout which resulted in around 50.000 users being unable to access the platform.

It is not known exactly what caused Instagram to experience blackouts for some users. But the outage has caused some financial loss for the platform.
