Facebook, TikTok shut down in Equatorial Guinea - Tribune Online
Tribune Online is reporting on the story above. It caught our attention because it may affect readers checking their internet or a specific service on SpeedTestTools right now.
When major social platforms suddenly stop working, it is easy to assume your own phone or home Wi-Fi is acting up. For many people, these networks are daily essentials used to message family, check updates, and stay connected. Having that access cut off without warning creates instant confusion and leaves you wondering whether your equipment is broken or if the service itself is unreachable.
If your feeds refuse to load, the first step is to test the rest of your connection. Open a web browser and try visiting a basic search engine or streaming a short clip on another site. If everything else loads normally, your internet connection is working fine and the issue is isolated to those specific platforms. You can also ask friends nearby if they are seeing the same freeze to confirm a wider disruption.
When specific apps go dark while the rest of the internet functions normally, the issue is outside your home, so hold off on resetting your router.
- Run a quick speed test — get concrete numbers before assuming it's your ISP.
- Open the Down Detector board to see which major services are actually having issues right now.
- If numbers look off, walk through the Fix-My-Internet checklist — most issues clear in the first two steps.
