Facebook, TikTok Shut Down In Equatorial Guinea After VP Corruption Video - LEADERSHIP Newspapers
LEADERSHIP Newspapers 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, home Wi-Fi, or mobile provider is acting up. Sudden service disruptions create immediate confusion for everyday users trying to talk to family or browse their daily feeds. What feels like a glitch with your device is often a broader network block, leaving people frustrated while trying to fix a problem they did not cause.
If your apps will not refresh or connect, you can quickly find out if the trouble is on your end. Try loading an unrelated website through your mobile browser, like a search engine or weather page. You can also run a quick internet speed test. If other pages open fast and your connection shows normal numbers, your setup is fine, and the blackout is targeted to those specific platforms.
Checking an outside site first saves you the hassle of resetting your router or reinstalling apps when the outage is entirely out of your hands.
- 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.
