Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok all down. Facebook shares have crashed in the last 2 hours.

It’s a social media platform that kids use to slag off their out of touch uncles, usually through the form of dancing or lip-syncing to popular hits 😉

This is a reply to the tweet you've posted which suggests it's not a permanent issue.

Way above my understanding and no idea what it means but might be back soon.

"Someone on the Facebook recovery effort has explained that a routine BGP update went wrong, which in turn locked out those with remote access who could reverse the mistake.

Those who do have physical access do not have authorization on the servers. Catch-22."

From that twitter thread :

User 1: 'Explain this in football terms'

User 2: 'It's like football, but without a football'

WhatsApp seems to be back for me…

Edit.. at least it was temporarily. I got 3 messages through and now seems to be toiling again.

It's back up and running, shame, I was just getting to know my family and they seemed rather nice.

I'd just sharpened all my pencils and found a biro and my Kodak Brownie.

Hehe, that's actually not far off. They withdrew all their BGP advertisements, effectively removing all routes from elsewhere in the internet to their servers. :greengrin

I quite enjoyed people tweeting how nice it was that they could take an enforced break from social media. Apparently without any sense of irony.
