I can see how it could happen -- it wouldn't have to depend on any actual Facebook services per se, all you'd need is the badge-checking server be named something like doorsecurity34.facilities.facebook.com on the building LAN would do it.

Oh, well that makes way more sense. I'm surprised everything is still down, but as is probably obvious I really have no idea how this poo poo works.

There was a video, which I now cannot find anywhere, of riot police treating people the night of January 6 the way that police had been treating BLM protestors. It's like when tigers get a taste for human blood. I will never have enough. Delicious. (eta if anyone, anyone at all, has this video, I will be grateful forever to see it again)

Honestly I feel like we've all been putting up with this poo poo for so long that any kind of bad thing happening to the people who have made us miserable is a relief. It proves that we haven't died inside. Think I posted this quote from Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier in the last thread:

quote:

G. J. Renier, in his book on Oscar Wilde, points out that the strange, obscene burst of popular fury which followed the Wilde trial was essentially social in character. The 'London mob had caught a member of the upper classes on the hop, and they took care to keep him hopping. All this was natural and even proper. If you treat people as the English working class have been treated during the past two centuries, you must expect them to resent it.

I'm gonna watch it again.

SCIENCE



Just glanced at CNN to see how they're covering the Facebook outage and lmao

quote:

The 37-year-old former Facebook product manager who worked on civic integrity issues at the company says the documents show that Facebook knows its platforms are used to spread hate, violence and misinformation, and that the company has tried to hide that evidence.

"The thing I saw at Facebook over and over again was there were conflicts of interest between what was good for the public and what was good for Facebook, and Facebook over and over again chose to optimize for its own interests, like making more money," Haugen told "60 Minutes."

"60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelly quoted one internal Facebook (FB) document as saying: "We have evidence from a variety of sources that hate speech, divisive political speech and misinformation on Facebook and the family of apps are affecting societies around the world."

SHOCKED.

Sheryl Sandberg asked FB's scummy PR people to come up with gross smears about George Soros, denied it came to light and then got stone cold busted when it was proven she initiated all of this. Her reaction was basically "lol my bad".

No, they're going to try and launch the last autosave of the entire site like when my computer updates for no reason and I hadn't saved any of my files before the weekend. Totally normal and high tech stuff.

I will laugh if they do get some mirror running and just have this entire thing happen again in a day or two because they didn't fix the actual problem.
