Perhaps someone didn't like to be censored....so they are censoring back?
Facebook’s main product, its Messenger service, image-sharing site Instagram and messaging app WhatsApp have all been disrupted.
.
The cause of the interruption is not yet known, or is yet to be made public"I'm trying to communicate with my team in New York. Facebook Workplace is our only channel for [communication] with the exception of email."
The technical term is 'single point of failure.' Not a smart move.
- The outage is occurring against a political backdrop of legislators in the US and beyond considering whether large technology firms - not just Facebook - should be broken up.
The word 'monopoly' comes to mind?
