Time to move on to another platform. Not sure this outage was not intentional to prove how dependent people are.

Are you telling me no one has a backup😳 sorry to say, but then its your own fault, just relying on one provider...

It's clearer when you say ... From Nigeria to the US or From Lagos to Maryland I

Just maybe, maybe the company is too big and should be broken up.

I don’t understand how people’s lives are brought to a standstill by not using Facebook for 6 hours 😀

They had to do some clean up, I am sure.

Will Facebook bring United States to a standstill for 6 hours?

👹👹👹👹👹
