Meta platforms are down
Meta’s network is down — except for WhatsApp.
The Meta owned platforms are down, forcing some users to log out. Some dispaly error messages.
May they stay dead forever.
100%
Oh no!!
goes back to not giving a fuck
So how's the weather where you are? We've got a bright sunny day, tho' it's a bit chilly. And dang! The elm pollen has gotten an early start.
It's gotten cold again here too. I'm allergic against pollen, I've noticed it too. But on the plus side, the trees are starting to look beautiful.
I've been learning Japanese for a little longer than a year now, this will be the first spring where I will really appreciate the cherry blossom/Sakura.

Stay down Meta, stay down.
I can't see nothing. Gotta open my eye. Cut me Mick.
So, anyone wanna take a guess at what it is this time?
My money is on a self-signed SSL certificate used in the back end somewhere expired. Some SAML setup or something that everyone forgot about.
I'm gonna guess it's related to leap day. Someone rolled there own time date module and a weekly cron job.
I'll wager BGP. Or DNS.

Someone on nanog-list said DB troubles.

Oh darn... whatever will I do.
I didn't even notice. Since I don't use that trash.
At least we have the fediverse up and running 😉

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The three Meta-owned platforms aren’t working for many users, with the widespread outage seeming to start around 10AM ET.
Facebook is logging users out of their accounts, leaving them unable to get back in.
A similar Meta outage took place in 2021 when a configuration issue brought down access to Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp for several hours.
When opening the app on a mobile device, it displays an error message that says, “Sorry, something went wrong.
Reports on DownDetector rapidly spiked for all three platforms this morning, while global network trackers NetBlocks noted the issue is affecting multiple countries at once.
The Verge reached out to Meta for an update but didn’t immediately hear back.
The original article contains 182 words, the summary contains 115 words. Saved 37%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Good bot!
Not sure this qualifies as "World News", it's more "News" or "Technology".
But since the Meta platforms ARE more heavily used outside the United States, there is just enough of a thread there to keep it. ;)
Unfortunately, Meta is a large chunk of the developing world's only way to access the internet.
TBH, then it's probably a good thing that it's down. Facebook is responsible for military coups and ethnic cleansing campaigns around the world.
Meanwhile in other more important news.....
Hey, metafilter isn’t down at least, and it is by far the best meta place you could go.
Anonymous finally did it guys /s
