I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

This means nothing to me

dns is a system for 'name resolution'. when you 'request' facebook.com by typing it into the url bar or clicking a link, dns servers look at the string of letters 'facebook.com'
and determine what server to send you to based on a dns record that facebook provides. BGP is a routing system, which means it determines what different servers your request should go through to get to facebook quickly. "It's a BGP/DNS issue" means that for some reason facebook's DNS records are pointing to BGP servers that aren't online (either the record is wrong or the server is down)

(im not a network expert and also im leaving some stuff out so somebody feel free to correct me or explain further)

The youtube outage earlier this year was a DNS issue iirc.

This is way too complicated. DNS translates domain names (i.e. facebook.com) into IP addresses. No real reason to go beyond that in an explanation. I am an networking expert btw (or at least I get paid to be one).

I did always imagine, with the way technology works in SOA, even without an insane creator, it would be a prime target for attacks.

Okay that was a good one.

RE: Facebook. I'm glad it's down, I thought my work had wised up to us and blocked it. If it stays down it's probably for the best. FOR THE BETTERMENT OF MANKIND.

The part that makes no sense to me is that their building access control went down as well. Given the level of integration I can understand why all of their outward facing services, and even some of their internal productivity services would be shared, but building access? What, is security tied to employees Facebook profile?

So did anyone explain why it went down?

Theres speculation that it may have been an inside job because of the whistleblower who came forward about the conditions of working in FB

Apparently none of the FB employee badges were working during the outage either
