This is the first time I experience this. Also note that current session on messenger.com still work, we can still send/receive message, but can't upload any image or send sticker. Looking forward for a post mortem analysis on this.

https://www.facebook.com/platform/api-status/ still returns "Facebook Platform is Healthy", but you can't even load https://developers.facebook.com/status/dashboard/. Why have status pages if they are so susceptible to going down themselves?

Can confirm. Also, API integrations, such as Buffer, are not working.

Is Facebook actually working for anyone?

So yesterday Google had a major (and out of character) outage, and today Facebook has a major (and also out of character) outage.

I can't wait to see the RCA for both of these and if they're related.

Private post Morten: The NSA middleware we are required to run (that took time to deploy to each of our social partners) is breaking something so let’s revert.

Entirely believable technical cause.
