    Update (1507ET): Facebook appears to have more than DNS issues, as NYT’s Sheera Frenkel reports:

    “Was just on phone with someone who works for FB who described employees unable to enter buildings this morning to begin to evaluate extent of outage because their badges weren’t working to access doors.”


    This may suggest Facebook’s internal systems are down. DNS issues that affect the website don’t hinder employees from entering buildings.

    * * *

    Update (1448ET): It’s been several hours, and Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, and Facebook Messenger, are still down. According to internet researchers, Facebook appears to be dealing with a Domain Name System (DNS) issue.

    Internet security researcher Brian Krebs tweeted:

    Confirmed: The DNS records that tell systems how to find Facebook.com or Instagram.com got withdrawn this morning from the global routing tables. Can you imagine working at FB right now, when your email no longer works & all your internal FB-based tools fail?

    To be more precise (and Geek Factor 5) the BGP routes serving Facebook’s authoritative DNS were withdrawn, rendering all Facebook domains inaccessible. That’s per @DougMadory , who knows a few things about BGP/DNS.

    Searching for Facebook’s DNS records comes up empty-handed.
    NBC News’ Kevin Collier called the DNS issues at Facebook “really bad.”

    I have to say, from what little I know and understand, it does seem possible that this was a very sophisticated hack. I'd bet quite a large cup of that this will start to be suggested in the media tomorrow.

    Data of Over 1.5 Billion Facebook Users Reportedly Being Sold on Hacker Forum Amid Worldwide Outage
    https://sputniknews.com/20211004/dat...089662906.html

    The private personal data of 1.5 billion Facebook users is reportedly being sold on a popular hacking forum.

    In late September, an announcement was posted on a hacking forum that claimed to have the name, email, phone number, location, gender, and user ID of 1.5 billion Facebook users. One prospective buyer has allegedly been quoted at $5,000 per 1 million Facebook accounts. This would value the entire set of Facebook user data at $7.5 million.
    In a subsequent post, the seller alleges to represented a large company that works to scrape Facebook for data. The seller adds that the company has been in operation for at least four years and has over 18,000 clients.

    Web Scraping is a process that uses bots to extract publically available content and data from websites. If the seller is to be believed, it means no accounts have been compromised. However, the seller utilizing a hacking forum to garner clients does little to ease fears that the 1.5 billion Facebook users, the company allegedly has data on, won't suffer as a result. Dubious internet marketers and cybercriminals can now bid on these peoples' personal data and do with it as they see fit.

    Michael Liedtke from USA Today reports, Facebook prematurely turned off safeguards designed to thwart misinformation and rabble rousing after Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in last year’s elections in a money making move that a company whistleblower alleges contributed to the deadly Jan. 6 invasion of the U.S. Capitol.

    Shouldn’t this alert everyone in the tech industry with one or two braincells (if this part of the story is correct) that the Internet of Things and even a tiny bit of dependency on it is a bad idea? Or do we just need more all out control on the internet (Problem reaction solution) and then this (people unable to enter internet dependent buildings) couldn’t happen anymore?

    I am sensing a pattern here that others haven't mentioned, although I haven't watched all the videos on this thread. If the powers that be want to install the Chinese Communist model everywhere, then the shut down of Facebook, which should be an easy trick for the C.I.A., is part of pushing the CCP model upon Western moguls, sort of the equivalent to disappearing Jack Ma for months in China. Facebook is a creature of the C.I.A., which agency provided the seed money to start it, and they appear to be telling Zuckerberg that he better stay in line as they can take his toys away at any time.

    This probably wasn't a shut down at all but a reboot and reinstall of new software and instructions/algorithm or whatever and it's probably a whole new format behind the scenes at FB! They probably did this to cover their behinds in some future inspection and now all the inspectors will see is the new one not the old! I doubt this is anything like it appears to us!
    The genius consistently stands out from the masses in that he unconsciously anticipates truths of which the population as a whole only later becomes conscious! Speech-circa 1937

    Nothing is at it appears and the timing is extremely suspect. So complicated and so far above my pay grade. . .will any of us EVER really know the truth. Doubtful. If enough people would just quit Facebook the product would die on the vine. But, we are all hooked and they will continue to laugh all the way to the bank.
    The argument for regulation is that Facebook is not just a platform but a publication. And I agree with that concept. And since they are using these deceitful, harmful algorithims, I would say they are also drug pushers.
    God, get it out of my head!!!

    I'm sure you're right Donald, will we ever know the truth? Seems like a pantomime that's for sure.

    Anna Brees said this on twitter that got me thinking:
    @BreesAnna
    I am going to call this - this is all about Google vs Facebook. And I am with FB. This is no coincidence after what happened yesterday
    "But I do just want to make sure that I share some caution on this [vaccine] because we just don't know the long-term side effects of basically modifying people's DNA and RNA basically the ability to produce those antibodies and whether that causes other mutations or other risks downstream. So, there's work on both paths of vaccine development." - Mark Zuckerberg, July 2020

    I got a message today that I am being banned from FB for 3 days (until 10/8/21) because of 3 videos I posted.
    Possibly the recent Project Veritas videos, or the 60 Minutes whistleblower video, but I post videos & articles on FB all that time that their "fact checkers" find it necessary to comment on, or that they simply won't permit.
    The really funny thing is that when this has happened before and this time as well, when I go back to FB the second time, just after getting the banned message, I'm back on again as if I'd never been banned at all ( I just can't post anything).
    They don't seem to have worked out all the kinks yet.

    I use something called "Fluff Busting FB Purity"

    ...which filters out a lot of stuff I don't want, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

    update: Nope, FB is very unforgiving. I checked back and the posts go all the way back to February:
