Interesting. The impact of this might just be grist for the monopoly mill.

GAB is still up and running as FR.

Tried getting a DNS lookup for facebook.com on 8.8.8.8 and got

** server can't find facebook.com: SERVFAIL

and

** server can't find www.facebook.com: SERVFAIL.

Very unusual for a company like Facebook to screw up like this and even moreso for the outage to last so long (over an hour, I've heard).

I figured I posted one too many anti-vax posts and got jail time.
It’s not like I don’t expect it but usually they tell you so this is kinda good news, it’s not my time yet.

Is something happening in Australia that they do not want the people around the world to see? That would be my first thought.
