Under the plan, Meta would charge roughly 10 euros (about $10.49/BDT 1,164) a month on a desktop for a Facebook or Instagram account, and about 6 euros for each additional linked account, the report said, citing people familiar with the proposal.

Meta services Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram are facing a global outage as of 9:30pm.

Users reported that starting around 9:15pm today, they were unable to access Facebook and Messenger.

Andy Stone, communication director of Meta, in an X post, said, "We're aware people are having trouble accessing our services. We are working on this now."

However, WhatsApp remained unaffected till the filing of this report.

An official of Forethought PR, Meta's official public relations agency in Bangladesh, said they have informed it to Meta and were trying to get a statement.

Once users are trying to log into their accounts, a message pops up, saying "Session expired, please log in again".

"I tried to log into my Facebook account at 9:30pm. I uninstalled it and installed it again. Still, I couldn't get access to my account," Nusrat Jahan, a user from Mymensingh, told The Daily Star.
