(Reuters) – Facebook Inc on Monday cited faulty configuration changes on its routers as the root cause of the nearly six-hour outage that prevented the company’s 3.5 billion users from accessing its social media and messaging services. “Our engineering teams have learned that configuration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers caused issues that interrupted this communication,” Facebook said https://engineering.fb.com/2021/10/04/networking-traffic/outage in a blog post. NN: I trust nothing about Facebook… This outage was very suspicious. IN third world shit holes before they raise electric rates they turn off the electricity. Claiming is an accidental outage. When i was involved in bringing the electric grid to the islands i met with the big wig of the main electric company. I asked him why are you making the poor people suffer. Food in the tropics spoils very quickly without refrigeration. His reply was when they lose their fans and miss the big football game tonight they will appreciate electricity more. AND pay the big increase. Zuckerberg is a VERY dangerous person. He truly understand the power he has by controlling social media to billions of people. He has the power to topple governments, create social unrest and manipulate public opinion…. By the way it was not the electric light though brought electricity to the world. people were slow to incorporate electric lighting because gas was a already installed service. Electricity was popularized by a start up in 1910 called Westinghouse, who invented the first electric fan for household use. People rushed to get electric fans and electricity because of their cooling effect on a hot summer day especially in the cities. Westinghouse also manufactured the first commercial transformers and their technology AC power beat out Edison’s DC power as the dominate type of electricity.
