It's time to delete Metabook, Twitter and TikTok (and Reddit). Fuck it, social media is cancer - a thread.

Srsly it’s time for BIG GOVT to shut it off. It’s a super weapon invented by childlike dipshits and hostile nations are laughing at how easy it is to use against us.

Whistleblower from the water company reveals water is wet.

This company is so evil.

Separately, their response is terrible. You can’t simultaneously argue 1. Hey we’re taking this seriously guys and 2. There is no problem at all.

I honestly think they should, from a business perspective, just say fuck everyone, change nothing and go full GOP with the victimhood. Educated people are mostly completely off Facebook already, just lean into the culture war.

Lol working at Facebook, btw. Jesus, that’s straight up 1980s tobacco company level scumbaggery.

Another article about that lady.

I love that Facebook made it through the election and decided with no riots it was mission accomplished and civic integrity was no longer needed.

facebook/instagram/whatsapp all down right now

Best they can do is another 5B settlement. All of those things will continue to function as they presently do.

There are quite a few institutions that aren’t going to survive the advent of the modern internet. The illusion of a quasi Democratic form of government is absolutely one of them. Most people are fucking stupid and giving them any say whatsoever in public policy is a disastrous idea.

Pretty weird coincidence. Meantime, CNN has a little breaking news slate up constantly saying these Facebook services are down. That’s kind of ridiculous too. What other company would get that kind of attention when its product goes on the fritz?

Google, Apple, MS at the very least

Apparently a mistake in a bgp routing table. Not sure people understand how vulnerable the underpinnings of the internet are. A far cry from the self healing dreamscape that was the original military plan.

These plus Amazon, Twitter, Netflix. Maybe a few others.

Our phones at work were fked for several days last week because h@ck3rz or some such. Some schmuck somewhere clicked a link and like a tenth of the country couldn’t get incoming calls for several days and we were on the list. So was my doctor and their entire medical group. Sweet system dudes.

there have been plenty of news stories about internet outages, this isn’t the first

Have they tried turning it off and back on? Or maybe just leave it off.
