[Outages-discussion] [outages] Facebook Down

[Rusty Dekema]

Facebook is having DNS issues probably stemming from a network
engineering issue:

> facebook.com.
Server:  dns.google
Address:  2001:4860:4860::8888
*** dns.google can't find facebook.com.: Server failed

> facebook.com.
Server:  dns9.quad9.net
Address:  9.9.9.9
*** dns9.quad9.net can't find facebook.com.: Server failed

Facebook owns Instagram and WhatsApp, so this is probably responsible
for those services' outages as well.
