Practice run for the presidential election': Internet theories run wild as ... trends now
The outage that hit Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram has spurred countless conspiracy theories that liberals are trying to ‘silence us all’ on Super Tuesday.
Former President Donald Trump is going up against Republican candidate Nikki Haley in the Super Tuesday primaries to determine who will face off against President Joe Biden in November.
Super Tuesday voting is held in a majority of U.S. states including Vermont, Virginia, Alaska, Maine, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
Meta’s social media platforms went down for roughly two hours, locking many users out of their accounts, people questioned if it was a ‘voting coincidence or conspiracy.’
The outage affected other countries including the UK, other parts of Europe, China, Australia, and Mexico.
Conspiracy theorists flocked to X to accuse Meta's outage of 'silencing' them
Posts claimed the outage was a way to give Nikki Haley an advantage over former President Donald Trump in the polls
A Facebook inside source told DailyMail.com that the company's internal systems were down and may have led to Tuesday's outage.
But the fact that it was a global outage didn’t stop American conspiracy theorists from rushing to claim it was a blatant attempt to stand in the way of their right to free speech.
‘Nationwide AT&T outage recently and now FB and Instagram experienced a worldwide outage… it’s not coincidental and is all planned,’ one person wrote on Facebook once they were able to get back into their account.
‘They keep warning about cyber attacks and possible EMP attacks. This is all a part of the New World Order coming soon,’ they added.
The New World Order is a conspiracy theory that the government has an agenda to create a totalitarian world
