Facebook Glitch Is Causing Random Posts To Turn Up On People¡¯s News Feeds
Facebook was scattered with random posts and people used this glitch to their advantage, either by interacting with a wider audience or posting memes themed on the very outage.
Several Facebook users are experiencing a glitch in their News Feed, where random posts are appearing from pages or people they follow.

The glitch is causing the feeds of anyone following the page/celebrity to be full of posts by random people that they've never seen. Normally, an algorithm filters comments and posts such as these, and that appears to be broken.
Many people have reported the glitch on DownDetector, and from the looks of it, the issue seems to be worldwide, as users from Australia, Malaysia and other nations across the world have also reported this glitch. My personal profile among other Indian profiles was also affected by this strange glitch.

Neither Facebook, nor its parent company, Meta have made any official statements surrounding this glitch.
Facebook users have turned to microblogging platform, Twitter, to share screenshots and videos of this strange phenomenon.
