No but it's already by far the longest outage Facebook has had in 13 years. There was apparently a day-long outage in 2008, and since then there's only been one outage longer than an hour before today. --- darkx Games beaten in 2021 - 34; Most recent - Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus <cite>Underleveled posted [p:958690592] in So this Fa...

Yeah, a few sites have been reporting it since around noon and I just got a "breaking news" alert from the New York Times about it. At this point I'm just messaging some friends on old ass SMS, maybe this will convince them to use Telegram or something. Certainly can't hurt as a backup because communication is just utterly crippled. Seginustemple posted... I'm surprised how quickly people are getting worried, has it even been half a day yet? It's the massive scope of communication. IG is used heavily by younger audiences (18-35) so they're freaking out over the loss of communication and the latter is used by everyone including businesses, who are just fucked. I mean after this will come the questions relating to security breaches too since who knows what the fuck is going on. But there's just a lot of user data in a limbo somewhere in this mess that seems ideal for shitty people to take advantage of. --- The King Wang. Listen up Urinal Cake.

If so, it must have been in the works for a while, and when the 60 Minutes interview was announced, they figured it would be good timing. I doubt this is intentional on Facebook's part to cover something up, though. Why would they have to take everything down in such a blatant way to do so? That being said, it is possible that Facebook tried to change something based on last night, and it got fucked up somehow. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!

ShatteredElysium 10/04/21 5:13:35 PM #50:	If not for this topic I don't think I'd have even known it was down. I never use Instagram or Whatsapp and basically only used Facebook to message my family back home. I feel like I'm a massive outlier when it comes to social media though because I basically don't use it. Edit: Actually I lie. I use twitter for sports. <cite>ShatteredElysium posted [p:958691581] in So this Fa... [t:79693254]...</cite> <quote>If not for this topic I don't think I'd have even known it was down.
