A friend of mine told me he couldn’t login to the Facebook via
browser. So I tried it (I was already on the app) and got some sort
of weird failure error that asked for my cell number and my password.
My friend had already told me that giving them that information
didn’t get you in. So I tried the app and found out I could no longer
post and was getting really weird errors about that. And then
messenger screamed and died.
Both of them want your cell number and password and none of it
actually works.
I’m thinking somebody’s hacked them and is harvesting every single account as people try to login again.

that IS what happened! I just found several articles online about
Facebook being hacked. Here's one:

There's no official confirmation from Meta yet.

Just as I suspected, it all leads back to the Tay Tay mothership.

Meta service outage causing Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and Threads to
go down

Did you just get randomly signed out of Facebook? It’s not just you. The platform is facing an outage that has logged out users. The outage will
cause your password to be rejected, but your password isn’t wrong.
Rather than showing a skeleton version of the site, Facebook will automatically kick you out. An error message saying that your log in has expired will appear, and your credentials will be rejected when you try to log back in.
The outage is also affecting Instagram as well as Messenger. Threads too. Anyway, no need to change your password (yet). You’re not being phished. Top comment by Mel issa

Down for all of us in Taiwan too. Friends in Singapore, Australia and the
UK also reporting. Definitely more than 300,000 affected.

It’s actually a Meta service disruption. Even Meta Quest headsets are signed out which prevents Horizon Worlds from functioning. In other words, the metaverse is down.
More than 300,000 reports have hit Down Detector since first reporting, and Twitter/X is flooded with reports as well.
We’ll post an update when the service returns to normal. We’ve also reached
out for a statement and will add if we hear back.
Andy Stone, head of comms at Meta, addressed the outage on Twitter/X:

Because it didn't take all the other idiotic "Social Media" websites
with it. :-p
