The Deep Internet has been predicting a general shutdown of social media for some time. Wotsup and Instagram are included from what I hear.

This tells you what happened but not why.

edit: You'll learn about nameservers, but there's an update:

This chart shows the availability of the DNS name 'facebook.com' on Cloudflare's DNS resolver 1.1.1.1. It stopped being available at around 15:50 UTC and returned at 21:20 UTC.
[chart]
Undoubtedly Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram services will take further time to come online but as of 21:28 UTC Facebook appears to be reconnected to the global Internet and DNS working again.
I still wouldn't use it.
