In an age where social media has become an integral part of daily life, a temporary shutdown of operations of Meta sent waves across the Philippines, sparking hilarious reactions and posts from its netizens.
The problem primarily manifested as a persistent error message, causing inconvenience for millions attempting to log in on mobile devices and web browsers.
Facebook and Instagram users worldwide experienced login issues, leading to a temporary disruption in accessing the popular social media platforms.
A pop-up appeared for mobile users attempting to access Facebook with the message “session expired, please log in again.”
Tapping on this notification redirected users to a log-in screen, where they encountered another message stating, “Unable to log in. An unexpected error occurred. Please try logging in again.”
This sequence left many frustrated users unable to access their accounts despite multiple login attempts.
But Filipinos, known for their irrepressible sense of humor and love for social media, took to the internet to share their comedic takes on the situation, showcasing their unique ability to find laughter in the face of digital challenges.
As news of the rumored shutdown spread, Filipino Facebook users flooded the platform with memes, jokes, and witty comments. 
As of now, the Meta platform is already back in operation. They released an official statement acknowledging the disruption and assuring users that the issue had been resolved.
While it has now returned to regular operation, the brief disruption has reignited discussions about the dependency on these platforms and the need for alternative means of communication and connection.
