- Ansil849 5y agoJust to clarify...I pretty obviously don't think that Facebook intentionally pulled the plug to suppress a critical story. But the inadvertent effect of the downtime is nonetheless the fact that the critical story will not be the center of discussion on Facebook when Facebook is back up.
