Facebook still down for some

14 hrs.

Some Facebook users were still having trouble accessing the social network Friday?morning, with the site either not loading or loading slowly.?

On Thursday night, when users experienced loading issues for at least two hours, hacking group Anonymous commented via its Twitter account about the slowdown. It's not clear from the posts whether the hacktivists had anything to do with the problems or were just celebrating them.

"Looks like good old Facebook is having packet problems" and "Oh yeah ... RIP Facebook a new sound of tango down, b------," were among the tweets posted by @YourAnonNews on Twitter.

While a Facebook spokesperson would not address the Anonymous posts on Thursday night, he gave msnbc.com the following statement:?

"Earlier today, some users briefly experienced issues loading the site.?The issues have since been resolved and everyone should now have access?to Facebook. We apologize for any inconvenience."

At approximately 9 a.m. ET Friday morning,? the website??DownForEveryoneOrJustMe?showed that Facebook continued to suffer intermittent outages for some of the social network's nearly 1 billion users. Msnbc.com has again contacted Facebook for an update and will update this story when we hear back.

The night before, many took to Twitter to complain and make jokes about Facebook connection problems. ?"RIP Facebook" was among the top 10 trending topics in the U.S. and worldwide.

"Yelling at my computer because my facebook won't work ... only to come on Twitter and see #RIP Facebook trending #explained," said Caitlyn Trelford on Twitter.?

"Madea Simmons" (not connected to Tyler Perry, but a fan) tweeted: "RIP Facebook Say Hi To Myspace For Me. Sincerely, Twitter."?Another Twitter user, "Jamster83," said: "Twitter makes you love people you've never met; Facebook makes you hate people you've known your whole life. RIP Facebook."

Members of Anonymous ? whose?key leaders have been arrested?and charged in recent months ? are?angry?about this week's decision by Britain's Supreme Court?backing the?extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to Sweden?where he is accused of sex crimes.

Earlier Thursday, the group claimed credit for a denial-of-service attack on the American Nazi Party, whose website was back up Thursday evening.
