Hello,

I use facebook to networking my translation. I'm not sure how many of you here advertise your translation services via facebook. But yesterday I could not log in to my account and today when I checked news I found that this incident occured globally. Please share whether you encounter this incident in your country, if you are in America please let us know what the real problem is. All my friends contacts and many valuable information of mine are posted on Facebook so if I lost it I would feel a bit sorry.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Why do you think we know more than you if we live in the USA? Oct 4, 2021

I learned about the FB failure (also involving IG, Messenger and Whats'App) around 1 pm EDT here on the East Coast, while listening to a French radio station, for crying out loud.

A check of downdetector.com confirmed the outage. FB spokespersons have confirmed an issue with their network.

If history of past giant outages is any help, that's all which will be known until the outage is repaired. Also, return to normal operation will be announced while tons of users still report outages. No detailed technical reason will be given. Conspiracy theories about various hackers and/or countries which allegedly support, or employ them, will proliferate (they have already started).

Do you need anything else?

Wait and see Oct 4, 2021

Yes, I agree with the assumption about technical issues like cable broken due to actions by Mother Earth like storms. In Vietnam for several recent days we received short but heavy rains...

All we have to do now is to wait, see, and pray, pray for this time of pandemic passing by and our life get back to normal.

Thanks very much for your thoughts sharing and ideas contribution.

Please keep contact and exchange information until the problem is over.

Why do you think Thu Nguyen is asking those who live in the USA? There are other countries apart from USA. And everybody knows how powerful the Russian hackers are.

" if you are in America..."

Yes, there are other countries than the USA in "America". In real life, in the real world, "America" means "USA."

Facebook issue Oct 5, 2021

In the United States we tend to sneer at Facebook, but here is an article on the wider effect of the outage:
