Looks like we're the only social network up and running right now.
Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Messenger. All down since midday.
On the plus side, maybe it'll stop the morons screaming about petrol stations having a delivery to all & sundry and maybe, just maybe, the south east will get out of this ridiculousness

Well, without wishing to go down the path of the conspiracy theorist, all the revelations about Facebook's supposed priorities (profit over people, duh) that have come out today just makes for amazingly convenient timing.

I'm actually hoping it's down and stays off-line for at least a week or two, and Zuckerberg gets the BBM treatment that Blackberry did a few years ago...
I suspect this isn't true, but I so hope it is:

#TwitterDown is trending… on Twitter.
How does that work then?

Apparently the BGP routes to Facebook's servers have been withdrawn. Technically, right now, Facebook doesn't exist on the internet.

Looks like Microsoft aren't the only ones adept at bricking systems with scheduled updates.
In other news, Zuckerberg just lost $7 billion, and vaccination rates in the US are bound to rise now the misinformation highway is closed
