The social networking platform "Facebook" witnessed a glitch, on Wednesday, that caused problems on the pages of many users, which was confirmed by an official in the parent company "Meta" to "Sky News Arabia", noting that the problem was quickly addressed.
According to the platform’s pioneers, as well as the “Downdetector” website, which specializes in tracking Internet failures, many were surprised by the comments and advertisements on the pages of celebrities appearing on the pages of “Facebook” users, even without being a follower of these celebrities.
Downdetector said the problem lasted for about two hours, and included a bug in Facebook services for some users around the world. Karen Arif, META Technical and Innovation Communications Officer for the Middle East and North Africa, was contacted via email, who confirmed that a problem had already occurred.
And the official said: “I will share with you what a Meta spokesperson said about this problem, as he confirmed that there was a change in the content of the pages on Facebook, which resulted in some users experiencing problems with the News Feed (their news feed) on their pages, but the problem was quickly resolved. We apologize for any inconvenience.
This flaw comes after changes made by Facebook in July that sparked criticism from users, dividing the News Feed into two parts. The first part shows friends, groups, and pages the user is subscribed to, and the second that Facebook has added is available for everything, including posts from public pages, suggestions, ads or videos.
Observers believe that Facebook's goal is to expand the base of views and commercial advertisements to compete with the Chinese "Tik Tok" platform through the second feature, but this caused technical problems such as the one that occurred Wednesday.
