Facebook has broken for a number of its users, though not for everyone.
Many people attempting to access the site saw a message telling them "something went wrong".
"We're working on it and we'll get fixed as soon as we can," the message read, in line with the usual error page that shows when there is a problem with the site.
Facebook's status page didn't show any problems, and the site appeared to be recovering not long after the problems began.
The site has broken a number of times recently, including one week where the site went down three times. The problems led the police to put out a warning not ring them in the event of problems, and spend time with their family instead.
