The only good reaction to those who think this is a disaster is limited to three words: "get a life"...
IT is my job and I'm not on any social network. BTW, the word social in that term is just plain wrong. There's nothing social about FB, twitter, instagram, LinkedIn or WhatsApp. It's commerce. And the damage that those networks/communities/apps incur to a lot of people is just plain destructive.
I'll get off me soapbox again... That thing is getting some serious mileage lately!

Someone at FB made changes to their Border Gateway Protocols and essentially withdrew FB from the web. As of a few minutes ago, I couldn't find any DNS that knew their name.

I also use Facebook to follow a few developers and their work in progress; and because my kids told me I was a "social retard" for not using it like they do.
However, if this outage is due to a ransomware attack I certainly won't contribute to the ransom....
Faceplant?? Wuzat? I'm on one of my 3 "Social Media Sites" right now and I don't count email as such!

1743 EDT 2143Z - I just logged in, but it's slow as molasses in winter. I'll give it a while. I'm betting about half of the world's population is trying to catch up right now...

It's back up, but search function is not working, also getting old news in the feed..wait it's out again...white screen. Hope everyone backed up their pictures. One thing I've learned from the flightsim community over the years - Backup backup backup.
0106Z - everything seems to be working, pretty much. There might be a few pic servers still offline. Search works.

It was indeed a hacker attack and 1.5 billion accounts were leaked (I saw this news Today).

Instagram is the only one I haven't been kicked off of, but I'm trying.

Torture numbers and they'll say anything.
Hubbabubba, Touche à tout.
I hesitate to wade into this, because clearly the information level about social media on this forum is comparable to if an Instagram fashion influencer tried to talk about the merits of the latest flight sim addon.
However, I will make the point that disparaging social media as a time-waster says more about you and your lifestyle than about the topic you think you are discussing. I am informed that WhatsApp, in particular, has become an essential communication tool for globally dispersed families, especially those that have members in developing countries without conventional telecommunication infrastructure. In the developed world, Facebook and Instagram are important advertising vehicles and customer feedback channels.
They were only down for a few hours, fortunately. But these are serious media with important uses, even if your own use of them is frivolous.

I sometimes see people responding to friends' posts that look like they're trying to start something stupid - especially when it comes to COVID and the science around it. They spout some conspiracy saying one thing or another that science says is false, then I respond by asking them to provide links to credible sources to back up their BS. Invariably, they can't. Meanwhile, I post correct information, and more importantly, I cite my research with links to the CDC or Johns Hopkins. At this point, one of two things will happen. They'll either vanish, or they'll resort to name-calling. If they opt for the latter, I have a response to that as well, and I'll share it here for anyone that want it...
