Why did Facebook go down? | The Facebook Outage

Around midday Eastern Time on October 4th, 2021 Facebook, along with WhatsApp, Instagram and Oculus, suddenly went down and were unavailable until 5 p.m.
This short interruption in services that we've grown to consider a regular part of our life, demonstrated how much the world has become dependent on a few tech companies, some of which have made controversial moves recently.

Facts still has an Irish KZbinr outage.

[@dianethoroughman9541]

I didn't even notice the outage because I rarely use those services.

[@oakharborben]

Why did it go down? Because Karma's aim is getting better. 😂

[@BAZZAROU812]

Unplug it and plug it back in..

[@KaiZerTwitchTV]

Didnt even know it was down. And yes, people need some de-toxin

[@MyLittleGreenHairdedMermaid]

Actually you just sound stupid by saying that.... it was EVERYWHERE on the news for a few days

[@KaiZerTwitchTV]

@@MyLittleGreenHairdedMermaid Im talking about when it happen. I saw it later on the news. But people still need some de-toxin from this shit. Stop look down on your phone all the time, take photos on everything. I hate when people sit with there phones at dinner, gatherings, whatever. Disrespectful

[@Blitzkrieg1976]

As long as I can call my family, I could honestly care less about the rest.

[@franzb69]

to cover their shit up. what else is there?

[@jacobiejacobs8668]

Didn't know it was down till I saw this on KZbin. Good thing this type of tech doesn't disrupt my life. But I'm scared for the future youth that depend on social media to get by.

[@truthfinder10490]

don't care, I closed the junk down last year.

[@Thehouseoffail]

I mean.... clearly you do care. At least enough to not only watch a video explaining what happened. Not to mention the fact you bothered to comment about it.

[@haziel4922]

None of that is true. It goes much deeper than you can imagine.

[@marebug2975]

Sad the world being this obsessed with it they all freak tf out 😂

[@Thehouseoffail]

For some people it was the only way they could contact their loved ones. You can use Facebook at your local library for free. But, you might not be able to afford a cellphone or landline plan.

[@Billinois78]

Facebook will change their company name to Philip Morris.

[@allankempson6951]

Facebook itself being down wasn't a big deal for me, yes I use it, but one evening without it wasn't a huge loss for me. It was WhatsApp being down that gave me problems, as I talk to most of my family and friends on WhatsApp, it's lucky that we had iMessage as a backup.

[@bigdaddydiesel5520]

Whoa is Facts alive again???

[@khmcmurray1]

No, it's walking dead. Glad you knew?

[@rho1581]

Comments being curated on a facts Chanel. 😀😀

[@vivalanina]

I'm in a long distance relationship and my s/o and I didn't even notice there was an outage until I saw people posting on reddit about it, because we use discord to communicate. :D

[@shaik3172]
