Possible Facebook.com Service Disruption (Update: It’s back!)
It appears that Facebook.com is offline right now with a likely service disruption. Both Down Right Now and Down For Everyone Or Just Me? suggest that the social media giant is offline and has been for a little while now.
No news available currently as to what is causing the service disruption.
There have been a few other outages for the social media website this month; but it’s too early to tell if this one is related to anything else that’s been going on.
Update:
Twitter user @mellodev noticed that DNS issues might be affecting Facebook noting, “Amazon AWS Oregon datacenter experiencing connectivity problems to Facebook,” and he cites being unable to resolve DNS.
If this is the case, other people may be able to reach Facebook, but the usual “checker” services may also experience DNS issues and see it as down (as well as people like me.) Users affected, though, just cannot connect to Facebook, DNS works fine. Noted in the issues above, even after resolving DNS issues, connections may still fail during this disruption.
Update:
Facebook appears to have recovered for SiliconANGLE staff and the trackers can also see that it’s up.
