Katarina Oct 4, 2021, 7:14 PM :savage-joy: David Oct 4, 2021, 7:18 PM Down in Colorado David Oct 4, 2021, 7:20 PM Google reports FB is down 5.56% so far today David Oct 4, 2021, 7:20 PM Twitter is trolling David Oct 4, 2021, 7:21 PM And somehow it's stock is down more than Facebooks... David Oct 4, 2021, 7:23 PM Maybe large outages just create a lack of faith in all tech companies? like whatever the opposite of a rising tide lifts all boats is... beni mahat Oct 4, 2021, 7:25 PM lol Facebook and Instagram down today! 😲 👍 1 Katarina Oct 4, 2021, 7:28 PM Linh Oct 4, 2021, 7:29 PM Naturally most people flock to Twitter when this happens haha 🐤 2 David Oct 4, 2021, 7:31 PM anyways, how does Zuck feel about going down? lets check the screenplay ? https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_social_network/quotes :savage-smiling-with-tear: 1 Katarina Oct 4, 2021, 7:32 PM Rakuten is up tho (Viber is Rakuten's brand). Saw someone on Twitter mentioning they're already seeing their contacts massively signing up today Linh Oct 4, 2021, 7:37 PM Lol 😄 1 :savage-joy: 1 David Oct 4, 2021, 7:39 PM hmmm what headlines surround "tech stocks" today? https://www.google.com/search?q=tech+stocks&newwindow=1&sxsrf=AOaemvJeoickwZTfHcim4RquDDsRlWs1Lw:1633376261281&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwixzNnewLHzAhVSqJ4KHd_VC5YQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1297&bih=710&dpr=2 Katarina Oct 4, 2021, 8:28 PM Slightly different, but overall downward trend Katarina Oct 4, 2021, 8:29 PM Curiouser and curiouser: https://www.privacyaffairs.com/facebook-data-sold-on-hacker-forum/ Katarina Oct 4, 2021, 8:30 PM Hmm though they claim it's unrelated 🤔 " This is completely unrelated to the global Facebook outage experienced on 4 October 2021." Clarification: David Oct 4, 2021, 8:43 PM Statement from Facebook's PR firm: Correlation is not Causation! http://tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations :savage-joy: 1 Ellen Oct 4, 2021, 8:46 PM Had to call my service provider today, they legit have it programmed into their phone msgs and online chat, that it's not them, it's the companies. :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: 1 Katarina Oct 4, 2021, 8:50 PM Oh but this 😂 Hang Oct 4, 2021, 8:58 PM 😂 1 David Oct 4, 2021, 9:02 PM https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/26uog6/what_is_the_origin_of_the_saying_you_dont_have_to/ Ellen Oct 4, 2021, 9:06 PM Wait, hold on, so what exactly is happening here? I is Fb under attack? Ellen Oct 4, 2021, 9:08 PM They're going to think we did it... 😂 1 Hang Oct 4, 2021, 9:11 PM Ellen If you are looking for a serious answer, facebook, ig, messager, whatsapp (basically the whole mark zucc empire)  is under a “global outage” right after the accusation of “constantly prioritizing profits”.  it happens once in a while. i guess some dev just tryna introduce new code and the code has bugs :savage-joy: But on the less serious note, yes, we did that. or twitter did that so people come to use them more 💯 1 Ellen Oct 4, 2021, 9:15 PM Well, I'm starting to realize what the topic of the pod will be. "HackerNoon shuts down Zucc empire with one article" David Oct 4, 2021, 9:16 PM Hang Oct 4, 2021, 9:16 PM Ellen ok and if anything zuck sues us see you in court :savage-joy: Linh Oct 4, 2021, 9:17 PM I’d say we’ve made it as a pod if we get even close to FB legals 😁 2 🤘 3 Ellen Oct 4, 2021, 9:18 PM ^ was coming here to post something along those lines lmao Katarina Oct 4, 2021, 9:21 PM Now it all makes sense. Kanye is behind all of this, just to ride the viral wave 😂 😂 1 😂 1
