Facebook appears to be down.
A link for this submission? Really? But it is down, as in not working. Error 5 - something went wrong.
[chromas adds] From VOA:
Instagram is back up after suffering a partial outage for more than several hours, the photo-sharing social network platform said in a tweet, but its parent Facebook Inc.'s app still seemed to be down for some users around the globe.
Certain users had trouble in accessing widely used Instagram, Whatsapp and Facebook apps earlier Wednesday, in one of the longest outages faced by the company in the recent past.
[...] A Facebook spokesman confirmed the partial outage, but did not provide an update. The social networking site had issues for more than 12 hours, according to its developer's page.
Facebook took to Twitter to inform users that it was working to resolve the issue as soon as possible and confirmed that the matter was not related to a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.

Suddenly millions of consumertards were unable to post pictures of their dicks.
Just a little reminder folks, Facebook a single private web site. It is not the Internet, is it not part of the phone company, they are not a public service, and one day it will disappear forever.
Today you have had a small taste of that. Do not rely on Facefook. Do not trust them. Use them if you absolutely must, but don't get too used to them.
