It's something simple but could be hard to fix.

Someone said, "Can you imagine how difficult it would be to be an employee at Facebook when ALL of your internal communications, etc., go through that platform?"

at this point I am sure there are plenty of good progressive soldiers working there, who will neither quit nor admit where they work.

https://www.privacyaffairs.com/facebook-data-sold-on-hacker-forum/
The private and personal information of over 1.5 billion Facebook users is being sold on a popular hacking-related forum, potentially enabling cybercriminals and unscrupulous advertisers to target Internet users globally.
This constitutes the biggest and most significant Facebook data dump to date.
Clarification: This is completely unrelated to the global Facebook outage experienced on 4 October 2021.
Oh, it's unrelated to the outage.
That makes it much better, LOL.

Would not affect me one bit if the entire social media network went down and stayed down.
Leave the rest of the internet up please! lol

In these dark and uncertain times, I am grateful I knew a safe refuge to turn to to get my fix.

@george-k said in FB seems to be down.:
@mark can you explain that to us mere mortals?
ping is a test to see if you can reach the server. for the ping issued above the domain would not even resolve at the domain registrar. That is very interesting as it seemed that the facebook.com domain had been deleted. That's why I did a ping to Google.com first to see if my internet domain name servers (dns) were functioning properly.
The ip address of the facebook.com server at the dns now resolves to 157.240.26.35
tracert which is below shows the route that your request takes to reach the server.
It appears that facebook.com has been restored to functionality except everything still appears to be coming from caches. I think they are not quite out of the woods yet.
