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

...and that's why you don't use Facebook Like buttons and Boxes all over your site. because it looks broken and full of errors now. Also, I don't want to know what this outage is doing to all the "Log in with Facebook" buttons right now.

On a serious note: DNS issue.

The authoritative nameservers a.ns.facebook.com and b.ns.facebook.com seem to be "set up" like this a the moment:

*.facebook.com ->(cname) star.facebook.com -> no answer

facebook.com still resolves the correct (?) IPs, but www.facebook.com, developers.facebook.com, graph.facebook.com all starting to die as your DNS cache expires. That's why it still might work for some at the moment while it really is broken.

you have to change your DNS nameservers. this works for me. primary: z.nic.de 194.246.96.1 Anycast (Berlin, Frankfurt/Main, Miami, Moscow, Sao Paulo) . secondary: google 8.8.4.4

Works when adding these to hosts in the Netherlands. Pretty funny, almost everyone offline :O

It's back up for me in the Netherlands after doing ipconfig /flushdns in console, fwiw.

Try flushing your DNS. Windows: CMD -> ipconfig /flushdns

Still down in New Zealand, mind you.

You can load FB buttons and stuff without affecting your site at all, even if FB has DNS issues or is blocked by a firewall https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10151176218703920

You load the JS SDK using the "fif" pattern. If it fails to load, none of the tags like etc get replaced by iframes, so no errors on the page. `DOMContentLoaded` and `onload` on your page fire as usual. It's as if the site doesn't even use FB widgets
