Facebook Down!

#1

Facebook has been down most of the day. I heard IG is down too. Maintenance or an attack? Anyone have any info?

I hope that it's permanent.  Twitter should be the next one to go.

There was a FB whistleblower on 60 Minutes last night so they're probably trying to do damage control.

How would we live without social media?  Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. are "essential" for a lot of people.  To me it's all garbage.

Thread title needs a few more explanations.  We all should rejoice!

Yea, tweaking those 'fair and balanced' algorithms to better save the world and insure our freedom..

Think about a massive major power outage.  Most people wouldn't be able to function.

Power outages and inclement weather is what I’m hoping for from the tropical storms/low grade hurricanes that never seem to hit.  I had a blast during Matthew and the other lady the following year.  

I say that not wishing harm or damage to others, just as a guy that got some gnarly weather and no power. So I hope people don’t take it the wrong way.

My line of thinking is this.  What would people do if all of the sudden all social media was gone?  No FaceBook, no Twitter, no Instagram, etc.?  Some people would probably go nuts.  Add to that what if cell towers went down so people couldn't do anything with their phones?  Many people would probably have a melt-down.

This is coming from a guy that doesn't even watch television unless it's a game or the news.

I understood what you getting at, and you are absolutely right.  I was just saying I enjoy the forced outages.  I don’t social media, but my wife does.  I find it comical how frustrated she can get without the “bells and whistles” of life.  And SHE was the country girl!!  I was the “city boy/Yankee”.  

I feel it would do the world good if people were forced to get away from such devices and vices as technology/internet.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m no “off the grid” guy.  I will be if I have or want to.  But I enjoy surfing the web too.  So I’m not 100% “Holier than thou”.  Give me a few years or a decade, lol

This is when all the people who carry cash point and laugh at all the people who live exclusively off a debit card.

....until they go somewhere and the cashier can't manually tabulate a sale or calculate sales tax.

I don't social media, but when the hurricanes blow through town and everything seems to be dead for a few days, we relied heavily on jigsaw puzzles, board/card games, and crossword puzzles to pass time.

I kinda enjoyed those breaks, but it would be nice if the fridge would be able to work during those downtimes.

“Facebook Down!” Sounds like it should be a movie.  A very non action packed movie where people just stare at walls and make small talk while waiting in lines.
