Facebook users around the world reported the social network was briefly inaccessible Monday, with many taking to Twitter to voice their frustration.
 
According to the downdetector.com portal, complaints about interruptions in work came from Japan, Kazakhstan, Finland, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Great Britain, as well as from the USA, Canada and some countries in Africa and South America.
 
The portal said that the social network had started experiencing problems in its work from 00:50 Baku time.
 
The outage lasted less than 90 minutes before normal service resumed. Some users had read-only access while others were unable to log in.
 
"Earlier today, a networking issue caused some people to have trouble accessing or posting to various Facebook services," a Facebook spokesman said.
 
"We quickly investigated and started restoring access, and we have nearly fixed the issue for everyone. We're sorry for the inconvenience."
