news Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp All Down - "caused by a DNS (domain name server) fail"

[dncafe]

"Global users are experiencing outages on Facebook, including all social networks the company owns, which include Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp. When navigating to these websites, a server error will appear — Instagram shows a “5xx server error,” which indicates that this is an issue with Facebook’s servers. Users are also unable to send messages or load new content on the mobile apps for these platforms. Even Oculus, Facebook’s virtual reality platform, is experiencing outages, according to a tweet the platform posted.

It appears that the outage is caused by a DNS (domain name server) fail — this is the naming structure that forms the web’s infrastructure. So, if you try to navigate to facebook.com right now, the internet won’t know where to find facebook.com."

People became too dependent on this s.t.n.st network worldwide, so some good people may suffer for a while as well from lack of communication... Who is responsible for this: good guys, or bad guys: I don't know, but probably good guys are doing it.

Well I think we can all agree that Facebook aren't the good guys.

What were you born in the 1800s? What'sApp & Instagram can be & are very useful to billions of people. It's not about FaceBook alone

I was born in the 80s. They don't offer anyone anything they can't do in other ways kinder to their mental health.

I think people will get more productive work done today, maybe?

They can be useful, yes. And the current outage all across these services only shows that it's bad that Facebook bought them.

That goes for all the top "social media" sites of today. They're certainly not a democracy like they try to appear to be and are in bed with you know who.
