Facebook, Instagram And WhatsApp Outage - Opportunity For Steem

I realised today while trying to post on Instagram, that the conglomerate that is Facebook had a massive outage. It affected Instagram and WhatsApp too.

This points out that there is a common resource that all three supposedly "independent" companies share. Possibly (probably) the big data mining infrastructure 🙄

This was our chance to showcase Steem as a viable alternative with apps like Appics and Partiko. I was a little surprised to see no PR attempt on our part to capitalise on this outage immediately.

I think we really need an organised world-facing team that can do this, even though we are all responsible for it one way or the other.

You're right, what also seems strange to me is that the fall was in some countries ... you should investigate why and see if you can find an answer to that. It would be interesting to know. Thanks for the video

The weakness of centralized systems despite having full control, it all goes at once. Not to mention the privacy issues they have will all of our data!

yeah, it was a worldwide issue, looks like cloudflare deployed some new software that screwed up anyone's site using their services so facebook companies, Buzzfeed and a few others around the world were having major issues. Just shows you shouldn't be having tools that have a single point of failure in web.3.0

The single points of failure are a big problem. Also an SPF is also a single point of censorship.
