Facebook has responded after thousands of users reported being flooded with unusual celebrity spam posts.
The social media platform has now fixed an issue with the platform which saw users' feeds flooded with unrelated messages and posts. On Wednesday morning, Facebook users around the world began reporting what some deemed "spam" messages appearing on their feeds, often posts from random users being directed at celebrities or famous accounts on the platform.
In many cases, the issue had caused users' feeds to be swamped with the posts, which were appearing above updates from friends and connections on the platform. Online outage tracker Down Detector reported complaints from all over the globe, with the majority of reports marking issues with both the Facebook News Feed and the app.
