Somebody keeps flagging it, is this post somehow breaching HN rules?
Previous submission used the title “Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp Down Globally” which is incorrect since (some) people are able to access it.
Weird that other Facebook owned projects are down too such as oculus.com and internet.org. You'd think they'd put stuff on separate servers and infrastructure...
Interesting that the same thing happened exactly a month ago: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/03/14/faceboo...
Just noticed this, wondering what is the cause behind a downage this serious - they rely on being constantly up and have huge investments in infrastructure to avoid this. Possible attack or a large change gone wrong?
Or even, third possibility - their research lab experiment gone wrong?
I thought a company like facebook will keep its online assets separate...It's a bit strange that FB, Instagram and whatsapp down at the same time
I bet this is a BGP leak again
