Wow - Facebook is down.  I don't know if I've ever seen that before.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Apparently outages on Amazon Web Services too which is pretty huge and in the US there seem to be issues with accessing the internet from AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon phones :mellow:

Considering the massive DNS issues Facebook and it's affiliates have, including key card authorizations and phone not working (apparently they dispatched a team to reset the servers) I wouldn't be surprised if this was sabotage by a passed off employee.

Did someone try turning it off and then back on yet?
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

He'd have to cover his/her tracks pretty well though.  There's gonna be an army of forensic tech investigators looking over this.

Facebook's products 'harm children, stoke division and weaken our democracy', whistleblower tells Congress

I think the most shocking part of the Frances Haugen's testimony is that most news sources are treating it as a revelation rather than something that's blindingly obvious.  For this reason I don't think Congress will do anything more than grandstand.  It cannot possibly be news to them that Facebook stokes division.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
