I wonder what kind of economic damage all these recent outages add up to. How much harm are they causing, in terms of productivity and value. Facebook's social networks I'd imagine are less impactful than the slack outages, which could completely cripple a company if they were primarily remote.

Ad content (images and video) seems to be loading fine on the iOS App. So the damage is likely minimal.

I first noticed Instagram then realized it was Facebook and their other properties such as What's App as well. Is very odd all of these major outages this week. By Cloudflare at least said it was an employee error, so assuming it's not subtle attacks by other countries unless companies like Cloudflare are required to legally provide an alternate story for national security.

According to Digital Attack [1] it seems the world is constantly on DDoS. [1] https://www.digitalattackmap.com

I find the outages of the last few days a curious coincidence : Slack, Google, Cloudflare, Azure, now FB. edit : added Slack after @kache_ mentioned it, added Azure after stevehubertron mentioned it.

Why curious? Is there anything to make you believe there is foul play?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

And? That’s why cash exists.

In NL cash transactions of 10k+ already needed to be reported to the authorities. But a new law will forbid any cash transactions higher than 3k.
