I’ve been out of network management for 22 years, but every destination needs a root server entry, and that seems to be gone. Whether an organization has its own DNS server is immaterial.

Understood - I have my own DNS server here. It’s effect is obviously limited.
But whois facebook.com shows a.ns.facebook.com (etc.) as their nameservers. Not unheard of, just shows they are big fish in the DNS sea.

What I'm reading is that the issue is related to Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Which is a level beyond DNS. I'm not familiar with it. But the BGP issue is causing all of their DNS to fail which causes all of their apps to fail.
They are having trouble getting into their own facilities because their own apps control their smart-card access...and those are down.
Whoops....They should just drive over to Zuck's house where he can simply grab a good ole fashioned metal key out of his safe right? Maybe they're waiting for the dude to get back with the key.
