Facebook is currently down worldwide
- Thread starter BFIB
- Start date
I know mine is down, because reading about Facebook breaking is way more engrossing than Facebook ever was.
I don't think so? Journalists documenting the flow of capital isn't a bad thing. Just makes you aware of how concentrated wealth and power is.
There's a thread about this. It's all just general info attained by scraping, not hacking.
that doesn't mean that it being down currently is a good thing though
I mean... yes? That post exemplifies exactly why it's bad.
Sadly there are 'news' networks that are already dedicated to this shit like NewsMax and OAN
I know they will claim that it's not a hack..
But it sure as hell seems like a hack and the timing is INCREDIBLY convenient.
If this is a true hack attack, would it be the largest in history?
BTW, a good portion of my business and it's marketing is through Facebook. This is not making things easy today.

Ah fuck, i forgot about the shit show that passes for news in the US.
For me yeah. It decreases the instant spread of influence including fake news of policitians in our country (Philippines) especially that it's election year in 2022.
You should be even more concerned than me about Facebook's stranglehold then.
I sympathize with their situation but how do you not see the core problem here.
Facebook shouldn't be a cornerstone of infrastructure fucking anywhere and it highlights how huge private companies continue to institute shitty practices overseas unchecked.
There are stories where facebook is abused in other nations while low level employees go home with nightmares about whether they did enough to stop horrific things from happening when it never should have been their responsibility to begin with
Since you said IF and you don't actually have a business in the philippines dont lecture me about being ignorant
"I Have Blood On My Hands": A Whistleblower Says Facebook Ignored Global Political Manipulation
A 6,600-word internal memo from a fired Facebook data scientist details how the social network knew about specific examples of global political manipulation — and failed to act.

I may be talking out of my ass but I believe the Sony hack was the worst in terms of damage done.
WE NEED TOM BACK !! COME OUT OF RETIREMENT, TOM!
Tom is busy buying the dip
Bruh, nobody in here is saying Facebook and people/businesses being reliant on it is a good thing. You can think the outage is bad on top of thinking Facebook and people being reliant on it is bad.
Me, an idiot: "Holy shit he lost $7 billion?! Fuck yeah."
Me, after looking up his net worth: "Oh okay, so it's still basically a drop in the bucket to him."
Nuance doesn't exist on this site. It's black or white and don't you dare suggest anything else.
I mean, I'm not stupid enough that I don't acknowledge that ripping the band-aid off would result in a lot of damage.
But at the same time, goddamn does it have to go at some point. Maybe this can be a wake-up call, or maybe everything will just go back to business as usual the instant this is fixed. That's how these things usually pan out so for now I'm just gonna enjoy the thought of it all burning down

With global services down, please keep in mind that different places have different uses for Facebook's services; there are entire small businesses that depend on them and in some areas they are the primary means of staying in touch with friends and family.

you can really tell this is a forum full of introverts that communicate with like 2 people on daily basis and have no concept of the hassle this is for those trying to communicate with large groups of people (which is at least personally 90% of what I use whatsapp for).
Facebook would have to be down for like three weeks for people to start changing their minds
Oh man just imagine if by some miracle it comes back and all the data is gone. No pics nothing.
It's ridiculous how much he (and other billionaires) are worth. 7 billion ain't shit to him. Tax these fuckers already
"Some people" are "having trouble"? That's... a funny way to describe the situation.
