Facebook's own status dashboard (https://developers.facebook.com/status/dashboard/ https://developers.facebook.com/status/dashboard/) showed no issues or outtage just 30 min ago. I run a messenger bot platform - the webhooks stopped being delivered _hours_ ago... nothing on their status page until it had been down for hours. Their current issue... "We are currently experiencing issues that may cause some API requests to take longer or fail unexpectedly. We are investigating the issue and working on a resolution." What? lmao

I'm pretty sure businesses use status pages to divert attention from support resources, they never seem to give useful information about outages and half the time don't even mention the outage.

  If you're inferring that Facebook is "free," I'd strongly disagree. Data is the currency of today, and they're swimming in it.

      Facebook is a paid advertising platform. There are plenty of people not getting what they paid for as a result of an outage.

        ok but you are all talking about the users. facebook platform is free to use for developers as for the advertisers, i doubt they 'll be charged for impressions that didn't happen

        But for someone who runs a business that relies on Instagram for marketing, and pays for advertising on that platform, it's a bit scary when the whole thing is down. Obviously this was only temporary this morning, and sure, no charges while down, but doesn't do me much good...
