    It's wild that anything or anybody could take companies as big as Facebook & Instagram down for this long.

        Same... like interesting that tr*mp announced the boe*ng thing and then the story of the software issues having to do with the gov shutdown 🤔 so conveniently FB and IG went down to stop the spread of that story? that’s one theory

        They're trying to play it off as maintenance but no website should take HOURS to fix accounts.

        Idk..Could be a self-inflicted stunt by these companies to highlight demand to shareholders given that @ewarren has publicly stated a need to look at the structure of the big tech companies.

        I think they're testing the new messenger merge...and not saying anything about it, yet.

        I’d say they have moved new software into their Production systems and there’s been a fault that wasn’t discovered during Testing. It’s not uncommon in complex IT systems.

        Yes. Sometimes it can take a lot of time to identify the fault and then determine whether to roll back to the earlier software version (a major undertaking) or to attempt to develop a fix, test the fix, then implement the fix (also a major undertaking).
