Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do they share infrastructure?

Given the fact that it's also down, I'd say yes

It could be some rouge admin who actually deleted Facebook.

I'm guessing this has do something with the recent graph api scraping?

Facebook is kinda rude now, they probably adding api bot detection and more phone number verification.

Quickly, let your FB engineering friends know. If their status page is down, their monitoring may be down as well and they're none the wiser.

This has to be one of those rare HN instances where a popular site has gone down and people are actually happy..

I can’t think of another such instance..
