To make the antimonopoly argument fairly, you would have to factor in how many times WhatsApp avoided downtime because it had Facebook resources behind it. Maybe that number is zero, maybe it's a lot.

Another example of this error in thinking. Centralization leads to things failing together, but it also means the resources to run things more reliably. One reason today's failure made news is that it's really rare.https://twitter.com/krystalball/status/1445140435807186954 …

The point is valid, and that's not even what this tweet says. An independent WhatsApp can have its own outages, but WhatsApp being part of Facebook means that if FB's infrastructure is having an outage, two major messaging platforms, Messenger and WhatsApp, are *both* going down
