Facebook's restored its services after a major outage that lasted for 6-hours.
The technical glitch also took down its WhatsApp and Instagram platforms - hitting more than 3-bilion combined users.
The group's blaming a 'faulty configuration change'.
Its falling share price wiped almost 41 billion euros off its value.

Domino Effect Of Outages
Matt Navarra is a social media consultant:
"It's not unheard of to have big outages for these platforms."
"Sometimes when one thing falls down then it has a domino effect."
"Compared to previous ones, this is one of the larger ones."
"So it's costing Facebook millions of dollars in ad revenue, as it can't serve those ads among many other issues."
