Yeah, I think someone nuked their DNS records. I'm guessing a disgruntled employee if that's the case. Interesting that this happened soon after the whistleblower came out.

wouldnt this be a great way to bury some skeletons for them? They could claim they lost so many records and data after the unfortunate incident wink wink

I'll never forgive MySpace for that. So many of my high school pics are lost. Yea I should have "backed them up" but I wasn't doing stuff like that in high school. Also to be fair, they were on the family computer at the time. But my mom put that in storage (which it probably is still there honestly but I'd be surprised if the computer still works at this point. It's been there for 10 years now) so I thought I'd have MySpace to fall back on. All of my FB pics are definitely backed up somewhere though.

No it means the DNS records got deleted by an authoritative server for the site. It takes 24 hours for them to update again so facebook is down until tomorrow at least.

When / if it comes back up, make sure you save them in multiple places.

Why do you feel the need to delve into whataboutisms. Just because Twitter is worse doesn't mean Facebook being gone isn't a net plus for humanity.

Does anyone know Facebook's IP? If it's just DNS you could still get to it by browsing to the IP address.

I fail to see how me losing contacts and having friends lose their streams (a way they pay bills) are a net plus for humanity.

Because for every person that uses it for "good", there a dozen bots and info gathering spam accounts that are stealing people's identities.

Just because it's bad for a few people doesn't mean it's not still a net positive. More people will benefit from not being constantly bombarded with false information, and mental health will increase in the long term (at least for people who don't jump to other platforms).

And if you want to connect with friends, pick up the phone and call or text.

Modern journalism is so lazy. "Let's just re-post a bunch of random tweets and call it a day"

Who has time for original research and fact-checking in a content mill news cycle?

It's a messenger app that uses full end to end encryption

I'm intrigued... although I guess the real issue there most of the time is Facebook itself.

You seem to misunderstand a lot of things good person. I have an e-commerce business that is partially on facebook, so it being down is kind of a big deal. Some people, especially older people don't understand technology very well so facebook is that happy medium. Sure it has its downsides, but that's like any website or media outlet.

Case in point, I have a friend who lives in Ontario who doesn't have a personal cell phone and can only contact me over Facebook. Same is the case with another friend and Steam.

I'll ask my good friend Yoghurt to start it up again. Maybe he can deal with Dark Helmet who seems to be involved.

Facebook can be positive for a lot of people and still be a complete net negative to society as a whole.

Facebook allows a lot of terrible content on their site, a lot of misinformation, and tracks the shit out of their customers like crazy.

Fuck Facebook.

It's not about time, it's about money. More jobs have been lost in journalism than coal mining over the last two decades.
