Starting to get reports from my customers that they cannot reach sites I can, I wonder if there's a big internet outage or if BGP is acting up?

I can use Facebook and Messenger on my phone in the app itself, but not on a desktop browser...

Same for me but only on my PC, my mobile phone account is working fine, how come?

Even if it was down, the recovery speed was less than an hour, which is what you should expect from experts maintaining a 1B+ user system. Unlike GitHub or Anthropic.
