While the MSM reports the Facebook shot them selves in the foot - or routers, I've seen reports blaimg it on the Paki's - seems Pakistani (according to what I read) was going to cancel Fakebook and the Govt techs got a little 'too' involved and killed the site all over. Bottom line, *ucking with the DNS backbone is scary simple to do - even by mistake - and a lot of US commerce (like your credit card) relies on the work Internet to pass data.... I saw this as a 'shot across the bow' and took notice as to the impact. What happens next time?
This is why I try and make sure I have some cash put away to buy those last minute items when it happens.
I had to reread this. It looked like you had put Psaki took it down. Since she had a press conference where she said that the WH was controlling FB. It's funny how the WH can control them but the First Amendment doesn't apply because they are private company. Does anyone else see the irony yet?
