On Monday Facebook suddenly stopped providing the information the system needed to function.
It meant nobody's computers had any way of connecting to Facebook or its other sites.
Sheera Frenkel, a tech reporter for the New York Times, told the BBC part of the reason it took so long to fix was because "the people trying to figure out what this problem was couldn't even physically get into the building" to work out what had gone wrong.
We don't yet know whether the issue was due to a software bug or simple human error.
However, the conspiracy theories are already circulating - deliberate foul play from a Facebook insider being just one of many.
What was the problem?
In a nutshell, Facebook's systems stopped talking to the wider internet.
It was as if "someone had pulled the cables from their data centres all at once and disconnected them from the internet", explained web infrastructure firm Cloudflare.
Facebook's explanation was a little more technical.
It said "configuration changes on the backbone routers that co-ordinate network traffic between our data centres caused issues that interrupted this communication". This had a "cascading effect... bringing our services to a halt".
How to fix Facebook |
This is a pivotal moment in Facebook’s history. Here are suggestions for how to improve the company. |
By Shira Ovide |
This is the most important moment in the history of Facebook. Hyperbole, perhaps, but only a little. |
A former product manager at Facebook, Frances Haugen, captivated U.S. senators at a hearing on Tuesday with a nuanced diagnosis that the company needs to be saved from itself — for the good of all of us. |
What felt different than Facebook’s 4 million previous scandals and congressional scoldings was Haugen’s focus on what she sees as the company’s foundational flaws of technical designs and corporate organization, and the messy but sophisticated discussions happening outside Facebook to improve the company. |
Haugen said that Facebook stretched itself too thin to effectively confront harms like ethnic violence and human trafficking that had been tied to activity on its apps. She dissected the ways that Facebook’s fixation on getting us to spend more time online aggravated our worst impulses. And she hammered the message that the public shouldn’t be kept in the dark about what Facebook knew about its influence on us and our world. |
The picture that emerged from recent Wall Street Journal reporting and Haugen’s media interviews was not of Facebook as a cartoonish James Bond villain. It was of a company that can’t control the machines that it built, but refuses to accept that reality. |
“Facebook is stuck in a feedback loop that they can’t get out of,” Haugen told senators. |
Some of what Haugen and Facebook critics have said about the company is probably overstated. |
