Jail!
For a little while, I thought I had somehow landed in the infamous 'Facebook Jail' for some reason this morning. Instead, apparently FB/Instagram/WhatsApp went down unexpectedly today. While the common sense part of me says it has nothing to do with the recent interview with a former Facebook executives accusation that regarding its policy, actions and logarithms, they prioritize profit over harm, the Gibb's part of me reminds me of his Rule 39 that says - "There is no such thing as a coincidence." LOL

I can't decide how I feel about the interview and the FB situation. Isn't the FB algorithm doing exactly what we want it to do and showing us the things we are interested in? Who gets to decide that this topic is dangerous to society and should be minimized or blocked?
FB uses "push" technology to put things in front of us. FB fills our pages with things it believes we are interested in. Google uses "pull" technology, it generates pages of results based on the interests we describe with our queries. If it is somehow wrong for FB to fill our pages with items that may be harmful to society, wouldn't it also be wrong for Google to return those same results? Do we really want FB or Google to filter out items or results or articles that have the potential to be harmful to society if presented to the wrong individuals? If we do, who determines what is harmful and who should be allowed to see it?

It is nice to not have to go Like all the silly Memes on my feed for a little while. A welcome break. I heard FB is not saying what happened, I expect they have been hacked. Couldn't happen to a more deserving company

More likely they shut it down because of the recent upcoming hearings... Doing a bit of "muscle flexing"... Oh, and not to worry, I'll post plenty of pics, memes and gifs, just so you won't miss them! LOL!

I hope they are down for good. They do nothing but censor the truth and spread lies and disinformation.

Agree with “Getreal”
Hope it is down for good but evil never seems to go away.

Never been on Facebook but I love my WhatsApp I have many friends around world I use it quite a bit , never saw the need for Facebook but I’m in a small minority who don’t use it I guess because i don’t care what lost girlfriends are doing and if there single .I like human contact much better and yes I know Facebook is much more but I really don’t care , I haven’t felt like I’m missing anything and besides 40 years of 3rd world hot spots I’m sure I have more then a few people who still don’t like me lol
