Are down, but no news is coming out about it.
My question is, are you having trouble in America etc too? Mainly facebook for me, but also Instagram.
thanks
yes. It's worldwide. Facebook whistleblower told a lot of info. She was an employee there. Very high ranked. Facebook, Instagram, and what's up shut down
Yup! Offline for some time. "60 Minutes" is a has-been with CNN not far behind.
Thanks for telling me!!! I was just wondring why I couldn't get on facebook. Cheers Nell.
Yup, FB has been down since shortly before noon here (East Coast U.S.).
Conspiracy theorists are having a field day about a possible connection to last night's "60 Minutes" interview with a former FB employee turned "whistleblower."
I have not yet seen said interview, but apparently this person revealed that Facebook is a shady, Evil Empire that puts its own corporate needs ahead of human lives... which I thought was pretty much public knowledge already.
Yeah, pretty much same over here. I reckon it is to do with that. Something along the lines of 'make sure all security is up to date, otherwise stay off' lol!
Exactly, FatFreddysCat. Not new about Facebook. Did you see the movie Social Dilemma? It lays it all out.
Well, no riots in the streets. I think we'll be fine with it down for a while.
It's all over the news now. The commentator I saw said it's probably a garden variety screw-up rather than some kind of deliberate attack.
Might get some real work done now. I squander too much time in the Facebookverse. Maybe Peter Griffin pissed on the servers.

This story says it all. It's obvious to those of us who deal in facts Trump is terrified of his tax returns being revealed. Of course he lied about releasing his tax returns during his campaign, and he has fought tooth and nail to prevent them ever coming to light. Wonder why?I'll wager anything...

Briefly put, the current fb issue involves, (alleged), claims that some fb practices/platforms are harmful to young pre-teen and teen girls, and did nothing because their actions were a legal part of their business model. Politicians, pundits, and the MSM are demanding government intervention and...

I recently posted a poem in a Facebook poetry group. The poem is a mixture of serious sentiment and humor. And you must keep in mind that in this particular group people have often posted poems glorifying dangerous and deviant sex acts. My poem is tame in comparison. There is no gratuitous...
