It looks like it might take a while according to a news reporter's tweet: "Was just on phone with someone who works for FB who described employees unable to enter buildings this morning to begin to evaluate extent of outage because their badges weren’t working to access doors." https://twitter.com/sheeraf/status/1445099150316503057?s=20 -A On Mon, Oct 4, 2021 at 1:41 PM Eric Kuhnke <eric.kuhnke () gmail com> wrote:
I am starting to see reports that in ISPs with very large numbers of residential users, customers are starting to press the factory-reset buttons on their home routers/modems/whatever, in an attempt to make Facebook work. This is resulting in much heavier than normal first tier support volumes. The longer it stays down the worse this is going to get.

I'd hate to ascribe any altruistic motivation w/o some evidence like even a credible twitter post (maybe they posted that on FB? :-)I personally believe that the outage was caused by human error and not something malicious. Time will tell. However, if you missed the 60 Minutes piece, it was a former employee who spoke out with some rather powerful observations. I don't think that this type of worldwide outage was caused by an outside bad actor. It is certainly within the realm of possibility that it was an inside job.
