    Once China pulls TikTok or creates TikTok Pro, expect Gen Z to go full lemming.

    Anonymous: Facebook employees locked out of their own offices

    The disruption to Facebook is also said to have ensured that Facebook employees did not get into their own offices. Their ID cards did not work because of the company's IT problems, as the hacker network Anonymous wrote on Twitter. The information is consistent with reports from US journalists such as the "New York Times" reporter Ryan Mac (ticker message from 7:26 pm).

    Security researcher announces new details about the malfunction

    Some details on what exactly went wrong and how Facebook is trying to fix the problem seem to be leaked. The following message from security researcher Steve Gibson offers some picture, although it is not clear where the original info came from: "Someone involved in recovering Facebook has stated that a routine BGP update went wrong, which in turn locked out those with remote access who could undo the failure. Those with physical access have no authority on the servers. A dilemma. "

    Edward Snowden comments on downtime: "World is becoming a healthier place"

    Edward Snowden shows what a whistler blower says about the triple down. The former CIA employee is apparently happy about the disruption and tweeted: "Facebook and Instagram are mysteriously going offline and the world is becoming a healthier place for a bright day."

    This may be the beginning of a post-facebook-post era.

    The best moments are the ones just after the fall. When people aren't sure if it's their cell or the service
    I quickly went to the nearest bar to enjoy seeing the youngsters losing it :rofl:

    They caught up pretty quickly tough. A pity

    Is Tinder still working? Because if it doesn't, guys and gals will have no idea how to socially interact with each other, they will walk on the streets like zombies.

    Well, all I can say is thankfully late 40’s couples aren’t affected and they will still drive out in the rain to dark car parks and open the door so I can slot the female from behind… :rofl:They are missing out on the true fun way to meet people.

    Personally, as a musician, I have nothing of interest to say about it. There are multiple possible causes and we probably will never know the exact one.
    After WhatsApp was take over by FB , I wanted to change to another platform, but my contacts didn't so, I had to keep it.

    Just a note to help people understand how WhatsApp can be important depending in th country.
    In some countries, like France for example, people have mobile phone contracts that include free sms, so they use some.
    In other countries, like Spain, sms are not free, so people use WhatsApp.

    It wasn't just Facebook that was down. In Germany at least, there were major disruptions to some mobile and landline providers yesterday. In addition, there was a complete power outage for hours in several cities. No power, no mobile communications. A complete blackout. My sister and my uncle were both affected in their cities and therefore had the rest of the day off from noon. I myself did not notice anything.
