Most are misunderstanding when all of these platforms go down for a very brief period of time.
THEY’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO DOWN!
Yeah you might check it and say... “it’s not down for me right now...”
That’s not the point.
The other thing is, these massive companies and services run independently from each other.
Why/how would they all go down at the exact moment and then not know WTF just happened to them?
“We’re investigating further into what happened...”
LOL!
I can confirm that this is grade-A fearmongering.
Check my comment history for explanations of what happened, if you care.

Facebook is back so the whole "indefinitely" part is just wrong to begin with, which in itself invalidates the premise of this post. What more do you need?

I explained a few times why Facebook going down put strain on the rest of the internet, please check my comment history for a technical explanation and why there is no plot behind this. It was a ripple effect of Facebook disappearing.

Who am I? Someone who doesn't just make wild assumptions.
But hey, if two clicks is too much work for your own research, let me help you and explain again how the internet works.
Facebook's infrastructure was down, including Instagram and Whatsapp.
Devices not being able to reach a service can have multiple reasons because the process is complex and involves multiple points of failure.
One such point of failure is the service actually being down. That's what happened at Facebook because they accidentally disappeared themselves from the internet.
Another such point of failure is DNS. If your device can't figure out what server to route requests to when you want to visit a site, it doesn't matter if the site if up or not, you still can't reach it.
That's what happened to the rest of the internet today as a flood of DNS requests from devices looking for Facebook clogged up DNS resolvers run by ISPs and infrastructure providers.
No mystery there. Just tech.
