Where was Mark Zuckerberg when Facebook went down globally?

Facebook and Instagram, owned by Meta, resumed operations early on the morning of March 6 (Vietnam time) after more than 2 hours of downtime due to a technical glitch that affected hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. The sudden outage left billions of users concerned about the security of their accounts and the impact on financial matters, business plans, and communication strategies. Andy Stone, Meta’s Director of Communications, confirmed that their apps were experiencing issues and assured that they would be resolved promptly to resume service.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Whereabouts

Before the Facebook outage, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan were seen attending a lavish celebration in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India. The event was held in honor of Anant Ambani, son of Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani. According to the Daily Mail, the celebration spanned three days and included various activities, such as a performance by singer Rihanna and a grand banquet for 51,000 guests.

Notably, during the Facebook downtime, certain social media platforms spread tweets from a parody Mark Zuckerberg account on Twitter, stating phrases like “Relax, the issue will be resolved in a few minutes” and “Spend more time with loved ones instead of worrying about Facebook’s problems.” However, these were fake accounts as Mark Zuckerberg does not regularly use Twitter. To this day, the Facebook CEO has not made any official statements.

Financial Impact
