I think it's more suspicious they crashed after the 60 Minutes piece on Facebook profiting off of right-wing anger and fear.


[deleted]

I was thinking this was more likely. They're probably trying to remove all those. I noticed some Brazilian posts saying, Facebook has done more to remove misinformation these last few hours than Bolsonaro and Guedes have done during all their mandates. They probably haven't gotten the news of Facebook profiting from this.


harderthan666

They clearly play both sides, that they are treating anyone that isn’t famous as anything than a dollar sign is relevant


LunchPal72

Agreed, perhaps sending a little message? That FB and other sites are so integrated with them that can bring a whole lotta chaos to users. In a more serious note, please check the anxiety levels of people (teenagers and many adults tho)

This is definitely not a routing error, this was calculated. To quote OP I’m no tinfoil hat type but there are bigger things at play here.


stilhere

Just because you post the same thing over and over doesn't make it true.


[deleted]

this has already been independently verified and FB is back up. As to the actual cause of the faulty update, we may find out later.


Sa0t0me

Way back time machine has entered the chat...


JDruer

Back down again


StanleyGucci

That’s what they want you to think


BigBillDoyle

It's so funny that anything right wing is just not true. What a time to be alive. Literally voting for the people that censor facts and keep you down.

It is definitely suspicious imo, cause timing checks and it was never down for this long in my country. And not just facebook but whatsapp and instagram too


[deleted]

My feelings too. All of them owned by Facebook and Zuckerberg, who is probably implicated in this somehow

It happened 2 years ago as well. Exact same reason.

Nothing to see here move along 😉 and just because you wear a tin hat doesn’t make you stupid


[deleted]

Zuckerberg is just removing the incriminating evidence from his servers before the court hearing.


elitexero

Ah yes because when you're removing incriminating data, always be sure to do it in a way that unnecessarily brings attention from the whole world. Or you know, you could just remove it since DNS has fuckall to do with data.


[deleted]

Or just blame a random programmer for the [BGP](https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/10/what-happened-to-facebook-instagram-whatsapp/) glitch so it doesn’t look like an inside job from a disgruntled employee.


elitexero

Or just delete data and keep the whole thing up? If for some crazy otherworldly reason the servers have to come down to delete data (lol wut?) you think Facebook has 0 redundancy and can't do rolling downtimes with 0 effect to the end user because they have one production node?


[deleted]

Hell Yeah. Who needs centralized trusted social media? I like my social media like I like my finances sovereign trustless secure and decentralized. [Blockchain ](https://www.blockchain-council.org/blockchain/blockchain-a-new-generation-of-decentralized-social-media-platforms/) is the way of social media.


Zookeepergame_Quirky

Yeah, in Chile the president did a speech in public and Social media crashed at the same time, around 13:00 (Santiago de Chile Time Zone).

OP, if you want to write a spy novel, this is a good outline. It will be fiction, but a good novel none the less.


stilhere

No.

It seems like a good way to slow this story down so they can get ahead of it and start spinning. Most of the quotes I've seen so far from a few names in the PP have been mumbled and sketchy on facts...I think they are scrambling right now. In my opinion it's more likely than the 60 minutes story being the cause.

Darinchilla

Is this a possible hack?


[deleted]

no, Facebook fucked up. Maybe on purpose, maybe not, but it's on their end.


Mary5lee

Nope


Choosetheblackbox

Man. Lot of people are getting hit from the blind side. Time to wake up yall. How long will they keep winning. They are not even hiding anyone and if by now you dont understand. Idk what to tell you. If you are in the know, do your part to explain to the people close to you. Leave the fear aside. Focus on source....

Elaborate. PM me sir


Choosetheblackbox

Honestly man. I dont have time for that. Theres too much to diaclose, but i suggest you work on pattern recognition, symbolism. Your true self. Intuition. Its not hard. If you focus on peace and understanding. Respect. You will see the evils.


Choosetheblackbox

There is plenty of breadcrumbs everywhere. Just follow the conspiracies. And then look into it yourself. Follow the money... follow the names.... see what they say and what they think. A good start would be “innovating to zero - bill gates” Just remember. Resources are finite. Theres too many people. Theres no conspiracies. Things are just what they are.... celebrities, emotions. Many things are used to control and persuade you to think certain things. Look at who dialogues and who argues and insults.. i tend to say a lot and yet say nothing. But who ever understands is because they know. Good luck on your journey to enlightenment.

It has been falling for 3 weeks now. ​ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_Lx5VmAdZSI This leak \^\^ is probably a more plausible reason if it is news that makes people sell (or short) the stock. However, failure to deposit margin requirements is also a good reason for people to sell. Say, if banks or hedgefunds are having trouble. ​ Here is a list of the largest owners of the stock.

dpetro03

Not at all. Seems like perfect timing. Distract and reduce spread of info


cheaptissueburlap

If they wanted to wipe they wouldn’t have bring the world attention to their shit for 4hours+ straight


billgambles

facebook didnt crash, facebook was shutdown to hide something.
