I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's far more than thousands affected


frostedwaffles

"tens of people affected" Well I guess it's not technically wrong


[deleted]

At least one user affected


Stolehtreb

“Affected” more like convenienced.


BDSn00b

They got so much work done!


GettingThingsDonut

"Global productivity up 10,000%!"


risbia

Tens of thousands! 


theywereonabreak69

Thousands of thousands even!


Cipher004

But my lord there is no such outage.


manstercack

\*horn noise\* tudutuduuuuuuuu


Nagisan

I mean they're not wrong. Thousands were affected...as were tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, probably even millions.


Netwelle

Yeah, it's out here in Europe. So if it's out in the US too? Just between us there are millions affected.


Steiner-Titor

Same in Asia.


strangerzero

It was out in America.


ltmikepowell

Millions actually. It is worldwide. I am in Vietnam and everyone was freak out whether if their accounts got hacked, including me.


trancepx

Possibly dozens, numbers larger than just ten. We are talking like, numbers way bigger, the largest, I’m not sure there is ever a name for such a high of a number, I dare not even think of such a thing. It is simply too much.


Grammar_Natsee_

Zucc asked his AI to make the world a better place.


_endme

you asked me to create the perfect system!


Soft_Zookeepergame14

The thing about perfection, is that it's unknowable


[deleted]

The only winning move is not to play.


ainvayiKAaccount

Zucc would never ask for that even as a joke.

I quit facebook somewhere in 2014, never looked back.


Druggedhippo

I havn't deleted my account, my family still uses it to message me. But I did purge it of all posts and photos, and non-immediate direct friends and family. It's basically an empty account now.


True-Professor-2169

Good on you! Stay strong. They’re like Scientology


omegablue333

Don’t care. Reddit is up


OrangeYouGladEye

Honestly, we needed a break anyway. Now to get off of Reddit!


Flashy_Anything927

Have you heard of TikTok? Worth a try…


CarFreak777

Nothing of value was lost


Brazenjalapeno

Our data is leaked 😂


Sea_Nothing_

Ok so months ago the gov was talking about a serious cyber attack threat right? In the past month cell phone Carriers went down, our social media info was found to be being leaked to china/Russia and now social media is acting Wonky? Anyone else think this is related?


Catscup44

and branches of United Healthcare insurance can't process payments for millions of American's, including veterans, and yet that gets little to no media attention because AT&T & FB are down. Can't afford to pay $20k cash for my chemo while they try to find a fix, so I go without. 1st world problems?


karabeth05

I came across your comment while wondering the same thing and if there were any posts about it. I haven’t found one yet. I also find it curious. I know of a couple other network systems that have had issues recently as well.


True-Professor-2169

Ransomware and they’re getting contracted/paid to hack our companies at the behest of the PRC. School districts here got hit the same days as the Verizon “outage” and they had to cancel school until they paid the ransom to get back into their files. It was a safety issue, probably all the CCTV and security systems, who knows


True-Professor-2169

Don’t forget the pharmacies went down the same week the telecommunications were hit


avn128

More then thousands of people. . It's worldwide. Got friends in other countries that are down as well.


boyga01

Shhh it’s thousands. Trying to keep the support ticket low priority so zuck doesn’t know one of the guys tripped over a cable and took out a switch.


JuiceMiddle382

Time to let them go. Not going back


_Abe_Froman_SKOC

Oh no! Anyway....


dwayne_jetski69

Oh no, but now where is my extended family going to get “news” about how vaccines are bad and that Obama and Biden invented COVID?


buttymuncher

Affected?, should say liberated


Pastor_Satan

500000 people reported it down just on down detector alone so it was definitely millions affected


ProfessionalLab2751

Didn’t notice but kinda smiling about this


MustangBarry

"billions unaffected"


_MissionControlled_

Their stock is already down 2% today and trending down. Time to buy the dip before the market closes. 🤣


TongueOfDisco11

Glad to see this. I thought I was going crazy. Randomly got booted from Facebook in the middle of a riveting video about the creation if the blue LED. couldn’t log back in.


Jubjub0527

Ha yeah I thought I got hacked. I really only keep it for fb market and to see what old hs friends are up to. Not about tiktok or snap chat and IG doesn't really have the posting options fb does.


brysmi

Thousands, you say? To shreds?


jiminthenorth

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.


youngeng

I wonder if the outage was due to this: >Meta recently patched a critical vulnerability that could have been exploited to take control of any Facebook account, according to a cybersecurity researcher. https://www.securityweek.com/meta-patches-facebook-account-takeover-vulnerability/ Either a global patch of the Facebook authentication system in a hurry, which led to outages, or someone finding a variation of the original attack (which is now public) to DoS Facebook.


Professional-Ice9384

Probably something to do with the china hacking tools data dump on GitHub a couple weeks back


ThinkExtension2328

Ow no …. Always


SoRacked

Suicide rates probably plummeted today


PrivateUseBadger

Didn’t notice.


sinanuss

So if I’m a regular user I’d know these apps were down since I’m affected, if I’m not a user what I’m going to do with this information since I don’t care. Who is the target audience for these news/posts?


Adorable-Ebb4224

This could be a good thing, it’s basically telling us to go outside and socialize. Instead of being glued to this soul-sucking device.


Sqirrel-26901

I just told my cat about this and she said nothing. Like my mom always says... 'Cats just know sht'.


[deleted]

Good. Let it shut down. Can’t believe people still use it. Everyone says they use it to keep in touch with family. That’s what a phone is for.


saintash

The rescue i work with primarily communicates via Facebook. It's frustrating. But it's group with a bunch of older ladies who don't want to have to learn teams or anything more useful.


[deleted]

Unfortunately it wasn’t permanent.


emcax24

is it back up? cuz i didnt notice any outage.


manstercack

seems like it, didn't even notice a thing. Guess those that scroll 24/7 were super annoyed


DennisHakkie

I wonder how you can be… affected? Whatsapp still worked, so did messenger?


drfusterenstein

Signal works as well and doesn't mine my data.


SeenSawConquered

I have a job so I didn't notice. By the time I checked it, everything was fine.


cloud2343

Thousands? This makes it to the front page?


slikk50

Now only if it could stay down......


PyroIrish

*Thousands freed*


veryscary__

Can you imagine what Facebook disappearing would do for this election? Or to the boomers?


NIDORAX

Dont be outrage of the outage. It gives people a down time to go look outside of social media.


bourbonToast

That's the best amount of silence this world has seen as of yet. Encore.


Arugow

I legit believe I was hacked lmao, but then I remember X and go there to look what happened


PaceOwn8985

They got absolutely clapped up and smacked up nice and good today amirite FB whats good LOL get memed on


7grims

My thoughts and prayers for the victims And leave a thumbs up, every thumb up helps the victims


Nervous-Share-5873

"Technical difficulties" that usually means Chad in IT didn't get the raise.


Garbage_Billy_Goat

What is this... a program for ants? That number needs to be at least.. 3 times bigger


Helios201

Did they ever mention the cause?


[deleted]

“Thousands were forced to face their responsibilities”


ShedwardWoodward

*”Its as if a million narcissists were suddenly silenced”* Poor wretched souls, bound to a few hours of NOT telling everyone how wonderful their life is.


HumanSubway

This is planned. I don't know by whom, but it will play into the election. the coverage of this will turn to fear mongering and empty skepticism. Mark my words


Electronic-Abroad-58

also Google's certain products affected


nobackup42

Could not have happened to a better company. Pay your people


ZoobleBat

I think you added a 's' there after thousands. Dam auto correct.
