Turmoil at facebook! Whistleblower spent two years trying to make things better from the inside before she said fuck it, they won’t change unless this goes public.
I haven’t watched the 60 minute piece yet, but it sounds like it’s everything everyone expected but worse. Facebook knew they were harmful liars and didn’t care as long as it brings in money.
Facebook might not get away with it this time as more than just moral or ethics violations there’s solid claims they tried to hide it from investors, which in this religiously capitalistic country, is the only violation that really counts.
Combined with tiktok basically sapping all the youths who don’t want to be on the thing that their angry uncle posts on and see facebook as the land of boomers and old millennials, we might be seeing the beginning of the end for Facebook.
The reports say tens of thousands of reports, but if that's all it would make the odds of me being affected** 100 000 to 1 so I'm guessing it's way more serious than that.
* actually I'm not.
** okay, this probability is more complex than I've made it look there; sue me!

I haven't watched the interview yet, so maybe it's answered there or I missed it elsewhere, but are they still working on that Instagram for Kidz thing?

Seems to be huge. It looks like the whole thing is down. I'm not sure how you can DoS someone who has the biggest pipes maybe after Google or Netflix. What's going on? Stock market manipulation? State sponsored? A social experiment?
Stollen from someone else,
Facebook just discovered ‘move fast and break things’ is a lot worse as you get older.
While a type of amplified distributed DoS can take down even large pipes generally it means you get stuck in the queue with everyone else (amusingly turning users into mini DoSers) but this goes immediately to server not responding, which kinda suggests the pipes are pointing at something that doesn’t exist. Maybe Zuck was deleting incriminating files and got a bit carried away.
According to Krebs on security, the DNS routing information for all of facebook’s systems got removed from the global routing tables this morning seemingly by an update from inside facebook. While this does happen occasionally through errors, this is the first time I’ve heard of such a widespread outage from a single update, as normally companies have multiple checks to prevent one update from screwing everything. So it may still be malicious, from someone with internal access to the company.
Social networks Facebook and Instagram, as well as messaging service WhatsApp, no dey available for some hours on Friday.
Many users of di apps bin report say e no dey work all around di world.
Di three apps all of which na part of Facebook company, and dey share common technology - bin stop to dey work on Friday evening for Nigeria and for afternoon for oda parts of d world.
Pipo wey dey use am bin see error alerts wen dem open di app and notice say dem no fit send or receive messages.
Suckaturd has deliberately brought the infrastructure down in response to this whistleblower news. He knows it's addictive shit and forcing users to realise their place will make them more compliant when he restores the supply.
Facebook employees can’t enter the headquarters because their badges don’t work, and those already inside can’t enter various rooms because access is linked through the IoT (Internet of Things) and so goes through the same DNS routes that no longer exist:#FacebookDownpic.twitter.com/5dLLVLlHPz

Last I heard it’s “on hold” until everyone forgets how bad an idea it is. Although it also sounds like their PR team hadn’t ramped up tested talking points so they weren’t quite sure yet how to smoothly transition from candy-vape to unfiltered menthols in a way that seems innocent and not like the predator they are.
The only way to prevent this from happening again is by hosing down Facebook's servers with sheep drench.
