Hello! myLot friends
I just found out that everything related to FB is starting to shut down.
I'm no so sure how true is the news that's been spreading on other social platforms.
I can still use my messenger though, I'll go observe if anything happens.
Some says it's permanently shutting down too, but hopefully before that happen we can gather our picture or maybe give us time to delete every info we had put there.
How about you? Does any FB or any social media related had some trouble too in your part? And do you think they will shut it down?
Hope you all had a great day/night.

I am on FB but I hardly go there. I just keep an account because I need it for some writing and blogging contests. I don't think it's shutting down. I read that it was down for some time and that created a lot of panic and fake news peddling on other social media platforms. I read it on news online.

@arunima25, you're right my friend especially in 2022 the Philippines national election they just want to panic people, but it will never happen for the creator of Facebook never put users in panic especially this pandemic where schools rely on Facebook messenger, room, meetings , postings and more. It's just a propaganda.

Thank you, I think so too many starts spreading fake news and some theories. Somehow it blew up since a 60 min documentary show release an interview from a FB ex-employee "whistleblower".

It does not take long for fake news to spread like wild fire and mostly WhatsApp is responsible for it.

@allknowing, many make technology ugly. They probably like to go backward.

You’re too late. It was down for several hours now already back and working normally.
I don’t use fb at all. I saw the news on twitter. Couldn’t ‘care less.

That's political rumor. It's just making people the voters confuse for Facebook plays vital in delivering substantial and on time updates. It should be Facebook owners to make advance announcements to alarm and aware Facebokers, but none. It's just a hearsay to mislead people during election.

I just realised how entangled we are to social media, Facebook, Insta and Whatsapp were all down Worldwide, It just felt like something is missing. But I guess we had a bit of a detox..... hahahaha
