Yes, there were NO issues with the internet. It worked the WHOLE time, and there was just a 1-hour delay on the video feed to help the police enforce their very lawful and necessary lockdown laws. And jackjack would know definitively if there was any other monkey business going on.
I did actually miss that this had happened.
I wonder what was happening around the world, because facebook just didn't crash in Australia for 6 hours. It was worldwide. must be the World Bank and those Jewish people in California that crashed it. That fits the conspiracy stuff, doesn't it.
This week's Facebook outage was one of the largest global outages recorded. So what caused the outage of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp?

Downdetector.com, a major monitoring service for online outages,
called it the
largest global outage it had ever recorded — with 10.6 million reports from around the world.
It took
Facebook nearly six hours to get services back online, albeit slowly at first. Ironically, the outage was so pervasive Facebook had to resort to using Twitter, its rival platform, to get updates out into the world.
According to a report from
The Verge referencing Facebook’s Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Infrastructure, it seems the problem was probably Facebook’s internal infrastructure.
Facebook engineers were sent to one of the company’s data centres in California to work on the problem, which implies they were unable to log in remotely to the data centre.
Experts have
said the outage could have only have come from inside the company. It’s likely Facebook engineers inadvertently made changes to how the network is set up, creating a cascading set of problems.
