Strange that it happened just hours after last night's bombshell 60 minutes report that made its stock tank.

Moreso, it happened exactly the same time Zuckerberg asked a judge to dismiss the antitrust charge forcing him to sell IG nad Whatsapp.

Very strange though so many mobile carriers in USA were affected as was EE in UK.

I only care about IG and Whatsapp - Sod Facebook itself.

Hope the judge maintains they have to split.

Those with access to reverse the BGP update will need to physically go to the datacentre and be let in by those with access to the datacentre. Then once the change is reversed it will be a matter of time for it to cascade through their infrastructure.

Some people are going to be getting p45's. Collosal cockup.

Is it just me that is finding it so freeing and nice to have an evening without Facebook and Instagram.

They've got some of the routing back now, the facebook page is now showing a "we'll get it fixed" and facebook.com is responding again via DNS.

Yeah, same here. This is the sort of news I'd talk to people about on Messenger... only I can't now.
