Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram down

[grunge]

Madness that this is breaking news.

I understand why but just puts into perspective how much of a big part of peoples lives these platforms are, and I say this as someone who uses fb messenger & whatsapp a lot so not getting on my high horse about SM

I know a fair few people who have businesses that run on the Facebook frame work. All the games on oculus rifts for example.

The bgp session was removed. Bgp (border gateway protocol)is literally the engine of the internet. If you want to visit a website that has its physical server in brazil the bgp table decides what path to take in order to accomplish that request. Currently there is no intructions for the requests to access these sites, they are not being given directions how to get from a-b which they need.

Interesting. I noted China passed a law this week which limits the amount of gaming and social media people can use on a monthly basis, citing the preservation of Chinese culture and protecting kids?

Maybe they have flicked the switch and done us all a favour?

They certainly owe us one!
