Did you know its been down since 11:39 this morning? over 5 hours so far!

Cloudflare senior vice president Dane Knecht notes that Facebook’s Border Gateway Protocol routes, (BGP helps networks pick the best path to deliver internet traffic) have been “withdrawn from the internet.” While some have speculated about hackers, or an internal protest over last night’s whistleblower report, there isn’t any information yet to suggest anything malicious is to blame.

Or, as usual, its ALWAYS a DNS issue ...

Some guy at work told me a story about facebook and how great it was for he had over a thousand friends. One day he ran out of gas and no one helped him. Since then he only had one friend., AAA. Always there when you need em.

Do you thing they took down all those platforms to scrub the data that makes them look bad in light of the recent whistleblower?

No way. An honest and truthful, as well as upstanding company would never do something like that.

Zuckerberg has lost billions of dollars of his net worth today.

Does the fact that this makes me laugh also make me a bad person? Oh well, I can live with that.
