Someone asked me last night what was the impact on African businesses during the downtime.
It would be great to do a quick study on this. Maybe the Facebook team can assist us with this. One thing for me is clear and w shouldn't lose sight of this - Any system in the world can have downtime. Big Tech is not an exception. I'm keen for us to discuss mitigating these systemic risks.

Could be domain name system related. Twitter has been here before. Happens to the best of Infrastructure and that is why we need critical infrastructure protection laws in place in this day and age.

Of great interest would be to know the cause of the outage. I Hope it wasn't as a result of a security breach.

Twitter usage now must be high to an extend Facebook is acknowledging the outage on Twitter 🙂
"We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience."

Hi Barrack,
I guess Mark Zuckerberg showing the world who runs the world after being called out today - smile.
WhatsApp, Facebook & Instagram have crashed worldwide.
Would be intresting to know the twitter usage spike currently.
Stay happy,
Mutheu.
