This happened to me on Friday, Feb 24, 2017 shortly after 11 a.m. I was at the library and I was going to send a message to Alex. When I tried to send the message to Alex, Facebook automatically logged me of. Facebook then told me somebody had logged into my Facebook account in Gilbert and sent me an email message to that effect. It took me several hours to get back into Facebook. My friend Alex said that when he tried to send me a message on Facebook, it appeared that Facebook had canceled my account. I'm not sure on this, but I think that David Stephen Wisniewski, the guy who runs Safer Arizona may have been asking me to post Safer Arizona stuff for him at the various groups I am in. And then after I posted the links for him that David Stephen Wisniewski would then report me as a spammer, in an attempt to get Facebook to kick me out of Facebook. That's because David Stephen Wisniewski just recently kicked me off of the board of his Safer Arizona group.

Facebook is down, sound the alarm [Updated] by Bryan Clark Facebook today is having some issues, it’s not just you. So far, we know the problem generally presents itself as a forced log out from the service. After forcing users off the page, Facebook won’t allow them to log back in, giving it the appearance that their account may be in use by another person. This doesn’t seem to be the case, as dozens of users are all experiencing the same problem. “This event was off the charts” The outage follows another from earlier this week. In that issue, people were able to log in, but reported difficulty seeing the News Feed. We’re short on details at the moment, but we’re working diligently to get to the bottom of it. We do know that the areas affected most heavily are in Europe, The United States (mainly the East and West Coast and parts of Texas), Brazil, and parts of Australia, according to DownDetector. Update (11:50 AM PST): Facebook reached out to offer the following comment: “Earlier today an error in one of our systems designed to help prevent suspicious account access sent a small set of people to our account recovery flow unnecessarily. We have fixed the issue and are in the process of clearing the affected accounts from this recovery flow. We apologize for any inconvenience.” For affected users, since this was a technical error, not an actual security breach, it appears you’ll just have to wait. It doesn’t appear your account is, or ever was, at risk. Facebook assures us they’re working to clear the queue of users who’ve attempted to reset their password after the outage. Update (10:51 AM PST): Some users are getting this message stating that someone logged in to their account. Don’t panic, this is widespread and that doesn’t appear to be the case.
Facebook down: App kicks users out of their accounts and doesn't let them back in Some of the messages appear terrifying, but are actually because the site is broken Facebook is kicking people out of their accounts and won't let them back in. The issues appear to be the result of key parts of the Facebook infrastructure not working. Some people are seeing strange alerts, like the site telling them that all of their messages have been deleted for being spam. Others are sent back to the login screen and then told that their accounts can't be verified. Even more concerning messages seem to suggest that a users' account has been hacked and so they have been signed out or their password has been changed. Others request that people change their password because of an apparent hack, but that password will then not work as a way of getting into their account. Facebook adds 'flags' for profile pictures, in significant move But in fact that appears to be the result of a failsafe that means that Facebook's security tools won't let people log in if there appears to be an issue with the servers that allow them to do so. The problems are occurring across the world, according to the website Down Detector. In particular they are hitting Europe and the East coast of the US, but that might be a consequence of time zones rather than the geography of the problems.
