Instagram and Facebook have gone down in a major outage. The apps refused to work as expected. On Instagram, for instance, new pictures failed to load and profiles were not showing as usual. The issues did not appear to be affecting the whole of the apps, however. Some parts of Instagram did loads as expected, for instance, but would then show an error message. The issues began around 5pm eastern time, or 10pm in the UK, according to tracking website Down Detector.

Walmart’s summer sale has officially landed, both online and in stores. This event runs alongside Amazon Prime Day, so it gives shoppers a chance to shop further deals from another major retailer. Plus, it has the benefit of not needing a Prime membership to be able to shop the offers. Oh, and it runs slightly longer too, from 22 until 28 June. Over at Amazon, Prime Day kicked off on Tuesday, 23 June, and will run until 26 June, exclusively for Prime members.

Twitter, though I feel like there's increasingly space for it to be overthrown.

Why did you become a journalist?

For the money.
