Love the status page right now. https://developers.facebook.com/status/dashboard/ PS. Instagram app/site, whatsapp.com, messenger.com, oculus.com also down, anything else? UPDATE: Everything back up! (Even the status page)

for posterity:

  
  
  
    
      Error
      
      
      
      
        html, body { color: #333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Tahoma', 'Verdana', 'Arial', sans-serif; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center;}
        #header { height: 30px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: center;}
        #icon { width: 30px;}
        .core { margin: auto; padding: 1em 0; text-align: left; width: 904px;}
        h1 { font-size: 18px;}
        p { font-size: 13px;}
        .footer { border-top: 1px solid #ddd; color: #777; float: left; font-size: 11px; padding: 5px 8px 6px 0; width: 904px;}
      
    
    
      
        
          
        
      
      
        Sorry, something went wrong.
        We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.
        
          Go Back
        
         Facebook &#xA9; 2021 &#xB7; Help
      
      
        document.getElementById("back").onclick = function() {
          if (history.length > 1) {
            history.back();
            return false;
          }
        };

And the png does not load.

I hope they get FB back up and running within the end of the year, otherwise I may actually start missing it.

I like how you're nostalgic, yet hate fb at the same time.

How on earth does EVERYTHING go down like this? It just seems unfathomable to me. Where is the single point of failure?

I'm getting two different error pages with the same "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can" message. One has the older site look, copyright 2020, the other has the newer FB5 look, copyright 2021. The logo is not loading on either page. Part of me wonders if they discovered a big/new hole that led to the data leak, although Instagram being down too suggests maybe there's so…

I'm seeing the same thing in NYC.

Perhaps society can rebuild if this continues.

If Twitter follows, there might be a chance.

Probably an intern doing something dumb.

DNS (not necessarily this case, but man it can bring things down fast)
