"A bit later, Cloudflare VP Dane Knecht reported that all BGP<https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/security/glossary/what-is-bgp/> routes for Facebook had been pulled. With no BGP routes into Facebook's network, Facebook's own DNS servers would be unreachable-as would the missing application servers for Facebook-owned Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus VR."
Holy cow.

Facebook/Instagram/Whats app all down. Seems to be a DNS issue.
