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.

I would say cash is used much less often in Canada than it used to be and most people just tap or swipe their Interac debit cards. Outages happen from time to time, usually during the mad Christmas shopping season, but life goes on.
Yeah. It happened a few times with Monzo in London. Nobody could pay for a day or something. Life went on.
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.

Separately, this is a huge blow for Instagram/Facebook since this is one of the busiest social media sharing weeks in the US. I bet a lot of their engineers are answering pagers on vacation.
Looks like Facebook image store is having issues. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp use the same image store, so all the services are affected.

Anecdata is always funny because I hardly know anyone that uses debit. Credit all the way.
In Canada though? Because in Canada it is definitely rare to see cash now except in boomers. Even a lot of places don't accept cash like gyms for even purchases like drinks or towels.

Heard some rumors that China might have something to do to this, related to the Hong Kong protests, but they're just rumors.
