Told ya.
Facebook is simply a meeting place where family and friends can share photos and vacation experiences.
People with nothing to eat, no place to sleep, no bathroom etc. ALL HAVE FACEBOOK pages and cell phones.
I said it at it's beginning and it's even truer today. Social media's only purpose is destruction.
Social media is scourge of the earth.
GOOGLE is no better yet everyone uses that too.
I heard an internet guru explain that it was in fact a systemwide BGP update foul up. And because Facebook keeps everything inhouse, including even their security system, all the keycards stopped working as well. Rumor was they were using angle grinders to gain access to their master servers.
“I’m not buying any of this crap!”
And with good reason. For starters, the whistleblower is not one; she is in cahoots with FB, a total lefty with a track record of working for radical Dems, and she and FB have orchestrated this alleged whistleblower hearing in order to set up more censorship being allowed by FB (for the children’s safety, you know) so that they can actually censor and get rid of more conservatives from FB.
Don’t be fooled here folks. This is all a set-up to give FB cover to be able to get rid of conservative speech off of its platform. You’ll be hearing more about this today as the Pubs at the hearing are figuring out what is really going on here. Two of the Pubs that attended the hearing are onto this latest ploy by FB big-time. Laura Ingraham had them on last night. Stay tuned.
Low tech bails out high tech all of the time.
I’d bet a steak dinner that the dark web has a better backup of Facebook data than Facebook. So if Facebook goes down, call the dark web denizens to get up and running again.
It’s too bad the outage wasn’t permanent.
My thoughts: The crash was intentional to give them time to destroy/remove damaging evidence that might be subpoenaed by Congress or Courts.
I worked at a university that used BGP internally (iBGP) as well as externally (eBGP). We used it to do virtual segmentation on our LAN - we had different VRF’s (virtual routing & forwarding) subsystems for different ‘groups’ of items. We had “students” in one group, and that way they had the same firewall policies across the entire campus - regardless of if they were on wired, wireless or even connected via VPN. Same for staff, faculty, and then other systems (like phones, infrastructure - wireless APs, door controllers, etc.). Each one had specific firewall policies and access rules to either talk inside, or outside. Infrastructure devices NEVER talked outside - period.
