Thousands of Facebook users around the world reported issues with their news feeds on Wednesday as a glitch appeared to boost posts to celebrity fan pages and groups to the top of timelines.
They apologised "for any inconvenience" and said the firm was working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.A total of 81% of the reports received by Downdetector flagged issues with Facebook feeds, with the rest specifically highlighting the app or website. Some posted memes to popular Facebook fan pages, such as those for Kim Kardashian, the Rolling Stones and Taylor Swift, to make fun of Facebook's spam-like error. Others also used the opportunity to promote GoFundMe and PayPal fundraisers.
These presented users with new options to customise feeds in a separate tab on Facebook's mobile iOS and Android versions.
