@TheRealHoarse The reason why Facebook paid billions of dollars for WhatsApp, a messaging service superior to Facebook Messenger in every way, is precisely because FB saw a secure, reliable, non-data-gobbling messaging infrastructure as a threat to their own systems. Very important globally.

@ItsJamieDrfc96 Itv news said it is very serious. Think it was a cyber attack on Facebook. Plus WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook messenger are all owned by Facebook. That's why they all went down. Back to normal now. Plus every network went down. O2, Vodafone, three and EE

@CommonestMan @cg505_ @alexhern Not if you can't route to the network, then you need physical access to the console, managed by door card readers authenticating against an LDAP that can't be routed to. And you can't reach co-workers for help because comms use WA and FB Messenger, that can't be routed to.

Genuinely concerned at how many people talked about how their business shut down because they use FB messenger for so much communication and everything grinded to a halt.

@AuthorElyseC My only way of contacting anyone is through FB messenger because I do not have phone service. I live alone, so it was concerning to me.

I, in the meantime, dared hope that the FB outage might get my offline friend group to finally go "maybe we should have an alternate method for group communication that isn't FB messenger" but no dice :|

I found myself opening #discord with my roommates just to talk about a PSE/G problem bc our usual apt chat in FB Messenger was disabled. I actually used Snapchat for the first time in forever. Sorry not sorry, I'm against Facebook owning everything social media...

@SameeraKhan Headline: “Evidence Suggests China Was Behind the Social Media Outages on 10/4” The evidence: Richard McWhitemanson recounts, “I was talking to someone from China on FB Messenger when the service went down. Coincidence? I THINK NOT”

Likewise, if everyone you know uses Facebook Messenger, and Facebook goes down, it doesn't help you much that WhatsApp is still up. In each case, lots of alternatives exist (Signal, Telegram, etc.), but the problem is that the one everyone you know uses is down.

@DayeanneHutton The main issue for me was that FB Messenger was down because I use it to communicate with my friends.
