| 8 | Me thinks it’s kind of odd, the day after someone whistleblows on them, they’re down…. Considering how long they’ve been down, they have a TON to hide! Edited by untamed.beads at 9:18 am, Tue 5 Oct untamed.beads - 2021-10-05 09:06:00 |

Some of us use it to keep in touch with family, both by posts and using Messenger (which is also affected by the outage, I believe). So it's not all time-wasting. The free video calls keep me in touch with my daughter and her family in the USA and I find Messenger much better than Skype. So I for one would really miss that contact if the outage continued over more than a day or two. Not everyone uses it for trivial purposes.

| 12 | Still down as i speak, but this time the site is displaying a message along the lines that they are working on it. This has to be one of the worst internet outages in history. nzoomed - 2021-10-05 10:31:00 |

| 14 | Could be down for up to 5 days. LOL swivel - 2021-10-05 10:35:00 |
| 15 | First knew about it when I trawled the computing news sites this morning. FWIW Doesn't really affect me personally too much as I've predominantly stuck with a personal website, self hosted element.io (matrix.org) chat and plain old Email to stay in contact with friends and family. Personally prefer not to rely too much on the services of a single for profit company whose behaviour I disagree with. Edited by cognition at 10:40 am, Tue 5 Oct cognition - 2021-10-05 10:38:00 |

Posting a webpage link on FB still doesn't work here in Wellington at least. WhatsApp still cannot state when a person was last online and it still cannot complete its daily Google cloud backup. Edited by rayonline_tm at 11:14 am, Tue 5 Oct rayonline_tm - 2021-10-05 11:14:00 |
| 22 | How are the teenagers going to "talk" to each other ?? Whew, Thank Goodness they have snapchap and twitter etc . Disaster averted. doggybear - 2021-10-05 11:45:00 |
| 23 | I use FB and Messenger to check that elderly or sick friends have got out of bed each day, or do I need to call an ambulance for them. trade4us2 - 2021-10-05 13:26:00 |

| 25 | lol, more like the least important outage in internet history. bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-10-06 11:52:00 |

That's dependant on your outlook. The a lot of business who use Facebook as a contact and advertising medium. That drives sales. So it Is important to them. nice_lady - 2021-10-06 12:19:00 |
| 27 | a couple days outage is hardly going to break the bank. Far less impact than say, Xero, or office 365 Edited by bitsnpieces2020 at 1:27 pm, Wed 6 Oct bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-10-06 13:26:00 |

Irrelevant. I merely pointed out that I disagreed with your other statement; bitsnpieces2020 wrote:
To some people it's their main internet presence so that's why I thought your statement was innacurate, and somewhat flippant. Probably wouldn't be so flippant if it cost YOU a few hundred bucks or more in sales ? nice_lady - 2021-10-06 14:11:00 |
| 29 | There have been outages of far more important services, imo. if you hold another opinion, fine. bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-10-06 17:24:00 |
| 30 | anyone else find it coincidental that Facebook suddenly have this massive interruption of service at the same time as being the subject of a Senate hearing. king1 - 2021-10-06 19:12:00 |

FWIW, I feel a lot of what has been brought up in the senate hearing is perhaps not too surprising for an entity structured as a "for-profit" corporation. They're going to put profits ultimately ahead of the well being of their users or the world in general (including ahead of any moral concerns) It's a large reason why I have personally felt some sense of alarm about us collectively (and unwittingly) relying so much on the services of a single such for-profit in order to stay in touch with family and friends.
