We're aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience.
FB going down for 6 hours because of “router configuration changes” is an advertisement for AWS, Azure & GCP. Outside of the big-3 cloud providers, FB is far and away the most sophisticated company managing their own infrastructure. https://twitter.com/...
Facebook gave us a great demo of why it's important to have a fallback access plan so you can recover from a critical system failure https://engineering.fb.com/...
We're so sorry if you weren't able to access our products during the last couple of hours. We know how much you depend on us to communicate with one another. We fixed the issue — thanks again for your patience this week.

maybe we start fixing everything from Facebook to Comcast by NOT letting giant companies buy every single one of their competitors based on a bunch of empty promises a fourth-grader with a severe learning disability can clearly see is preposterous bullshit
instead we just let every sector get massively consolidated thanks to Congressional corruption and regulatory revolving doors, then stand around with a stupid fucking look on our face wondering why everything from airlines to cable TV turns to shit
so much terrible shit could be avoided (from telecom monopolies to Facebook power) if we didn't mindlessly rubber stamp every shitty merger that stumbled down the road, and spent more than 30 seconds reviewing pre-merger promises with something vaguely resembling skepticism
