What is Facebook?  Is it relevant?  Asking for a friend.

My kids tell me it's like an asylum a safe space where people can like people without having to smell them in close proximity? Kinda like here but with dynamic young influencers revealing diet tits.

Yee haa I can walk down the street without dodging the smartphone zombies ????‍♀️

Facebook is a service where you voluntarily upload all your personal data for the world to see while you are afraid that governments and big tech companies (GAFAM) may have access to your personal data. Facebook is your Big Brother (ref 1984) who you love, and you feed him not only facts but also your feelings, and you are then surprised if he takes advantage of it. 

How can you live without it?

Best thing to happen would be big tech coorperations down for good. The amount of hacking, snooping ,spying done by these fb, instagram, whatts app lot is out of order.  Couple of days ago, Putin threatened fb, i reckon his hackers gave zuckerberg a warning. Fb promoting paedofile groups, gender freak nonsense, and pushing the vax, and deleting anything opposing it.. when clowns like george soros has massive shares in it , new world order is their agenda.. someone swith fb off for good.. 

If all the tech companies were down, you wouldn't have been able to post this. You would not have email or other means of communication with your home country - back to postal services.  Yeah, some people would like that.

They could be checking the latest posts on the ASEAN Now Forum, though.

Well, on a serious note: from what I read, this is not just some glitch caused by an update of a router gone wrong, this seems to be serious, affecting the company worldwide, despite the various datacenters they have for backup. 

So the two things that come to my mind:

1. If it can hit a company like Facebook with thousands of security and other system engineers, it can hit ANY company. Just gone through my bookmark list and found quite a few companies that when going offline, would have a huge impact on my life.
2. During such an outage, we all have NO IDEA about the safety and security of our data. That is why as soon as FB, Instagram and WhatsApp are back online, I will change the passwords and force my family to do the same. 

I would guess that the smugness in the face of Zuckerberg is crumpling by now... first the leaking of all his documents and now this... funny to see twitter messages flying around with messages like "TikTok is working".. "Twitter does not have problems" and so on. 

Unfortunately, 2 days after the service is restored, the majority of users will have forgotten it, and only the politicians will go on fussing about it like they had any idea to start with...

smells of inside job

Probably self inflicted to distract from Facebook whistleblower who is to testify in front of US Congress today????

The World stopped working...????

Thanks that there was somtum close by, otherwise she would have gone mental.

Amazingly humorous that many of you here think this was hackers and that the timing of the outage and the 60-Minutes whistleblower piece was some kind of coincidence. I wonder how many have actually seen it - it is damning. 
 

IMO, FB took their platform down so they could install patches and replace some key algorithms used to manipulate the information presented to the masses.
 

That said, it will be interesting to see what consequences there will be for FB, if any.

Yes, just be careful not to slip on any crocodile tears being shed by all those ‘tough as nails’ FB users.  
 

Perhaps Thailand will again be having flood problems.

Seriously though, I think we’ll likely see there was an uptick in worldwide productivity during the time of the outage.

Edward Snowden, among others, thinks so. 

Too many convenient dots to connect.

Expecting Bill Gates to be purchasing FB as a hostile takeover move.

I doubt anything will relax the smugness  of  Mr. Suckenberg.

[WhiteBuffaloATM]

FB gone would be no loss to humanity….robotic …already shunned by the under 35s I hear.

Instagram and WApp thoigh appear to provide decent service/ value.

Yep.

Suspicious alarm bells when things of this nature are overwhelming newsworthy and over concern is displayed. 

 

It's all about them.
