No suprise, it's Facebook. The company owned by a "human". I heard employees coudn't even enter into their own buildings to investigate it. Part of Facebook was even gone, then Twitch got hacked. 4chan is up to something...

And for a few hours the internet was a better place - if only Twitter and tiktok were also targeted

Any time Spyware has an outage is good news. The only news that would be better is if they all go out for good.

I hope they will fix these issues shortly. Sometimes it happens because of the massive DDoS attacks on these services or because too many accounts start to react to the photos, and this is one of the reasons why you should order the promotional likes and followers from services like 1394ta starting with low numbers to avoid bans and DDOS attack looking. Last year my friend ordered 2000 followers per day, so his account got banned instantly with *a DDOS attack reason*. I don't think that this kind of social media strategy from 1394ta is any good, to be honest.

Funny, didn't even know it was down . I really don't see what some people see those sites... each to their own though.
