While I am writing this blog, the whole world is like in a blackout condition. Worlds biggest social media platforms, Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook are down. Mark Zuckerberg has a lot of work to do to get these things online.
The thing we should think is, this is not the first time Facebook or its companies are facing blackouts. Whatsapp also went down last day for like 2 hours straight. But this time it has hit harder. All the social media platforms under Facebook is down, and while the time I am writing this blog, it has been 4 hours and still no connection established.
Blackouts like these should be avoided. When these 3 companies were 3 different companies as its own, these types of incidents has never occured. Facebook and Mark has always used this Social Media industry only for bussiness. He got rid of the competition by buying up the competitors. We can’t blame him, because it’s legal and not unethical. But think from a user’s point of view it was unnecessary. I believe If that thing never happened, we could have avoided server getting down frequently.
Many unconfirmed reports states that it was the attack by Chinese hackers which made the servers go down. I believe that the federal government would look into it and see this as a serious matter and would punish the guilty. If this reports are true, then this is the most unfortunate incident to happen in cyber security awareness month.
Social media blackouts like this should be avoided if we could. In a very progressive world like we have today, the server outage is something we cannot think of. Humans are social beings as we all know. We should avoid these type of situations if we could. And if it’s the work of enemies we should destroy our perpetrators.
Hoping that the Social media’s would come back to normal way as soon as possible. Till then, Twitter, Discord and Telegram it is 😉
