If it's down for you, try these IPs, to check whether is a DNS problem. ;; ANSWER SECTION: facebook.com. 1690 IN A 69.171.229.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 173.252.100.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 173.252.101.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 66.220.152.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 66.220.158.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 69.171.224.32

Yup, that worked. However it's pretty useless as nobody else is online :)

facebook.com redirects to www.facebook.com which in turn does not resolve.

You can add those IPs as "www.facebook.com" in your hosts file and then the site becomes accessible.

A little investigation: Anon_Online notices of the event, OP probably high/drunk https://twitter.com/Anon_Online/status/278269562422697987 Odd-looking whois of facebook.com (notice the xxx domains and last update timestamp) http://pastebin.com/K4gAK3gi Hmm

This looks like a DNS Problem, can't be anon.

Querying Facebook's DNS servers directly shows something is definitely wrong:

  $ dig +short @b.ns.facebook.com www.facebook.com
  star.facebook.com.
  $ dig +short @b.ns.facebook.com star.facebook.com
  $

1) Anonymous are very unlikely to have anything to do with this;

2) There's nothing untoward about that whois report; you need to put the domain in speech marks to query the exact domain
