    Facebook will not always recover. It’ll perish when the next thing comes along to replace it, same as everything that’s come before in the history of mankind.

    RIP MySpace, MSN Messenger, Bebo, Vine, Habo…

    I shudder to think of the amount of anti-vax research time that’s been lost tonight.

    As soon as they went back up a guy I know posted on Facebook ripping into people being upset Facebook was down. I think the irony was lost on him.

    Couldn't give a flying f*ck if Facebook is wiped out altogether,
    " so and so wants to friend you " ???
    Naw, f*ck right off, I don't want to friend you, your my f*cking mother, not my friend.
    That's why I don't want to join Facebook and all the other social media *.

    Don't use any social media other than WhatsApp, which I could get live without anyway.

    Wonder it it was a hack, be interesting to know the real reason.

    I like Instagram because I have a degree control over what I see. My entire feed is just content from pages I follow, which is only things/people of interest to me.

    Haven’t used Facebook in years though, other than for the messenger app. It reminds me that I’m getting older and that the world is full of proper lunatics. Most of the content just seems to be Karen’s posting links to unsubstantiated bullshit articles or people I went to school with trying to sell me their latest MLM product.

    I’ll log on very occasionally and I’m instantly reminded why I just don’t bother with it anymore.

    Bebo is the only one I'd like to get back to be honest, just so I could get my old photos off it! I'd stopped using it but had loads of photos from my teens and early 20s on there, nights at the Arches, T in the Park etc, then one day it wasn't even possible to get on it.

    Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc, if they dissapeared altogether it would be a good thing.

    They’d just be replaced with something else.

    Facebook has already recovered. I'm near sure it dropped 8-10%(I'm not 100% on the % but it was enough to make money on)when it went off line. It's now climbing again and will surpass whatever it dropped soon enough!

    The fella who sold bebo for 500million bought it back for 1 mill or just under it and if you can remember your password, you can log in and download all your content.

    So it fluctuated and rebounded same as every other company that takes a dip after bad news?

    I tried that mate, but the platform was all different, it wasn't like my old profile. I'll maybe try again today but it definitely didn't work last time I tried.

    I’d absolutely love to be some mad hacker with the ability to * * up if I wanted to.

    Instagram is the only platform I like. I mostly follow photography accounts on it so my feed is pretty good.

    Facebook should stay down and take Twitter and Tik Tok with it imo.

    I wear it like a badge of honour that I never knew this until I seen this thread.

    Listen Paul, do me a favor and * off and stop talking *. I don't come on here for this bollox and don't have time for it . Plus people like you with all your * talk on the internet will probably beat me with experience! I ain't here for petty *! With thst said, Read my post ya screwball. Facebook will recover. It's recovered and there was money to be made. Nothing more, nothing less but for some, they just want to create something out of nothing! And after typing all that, I just had a few real lols that there's actually people like you out there that love nothing more than arguing with people on the net hahaha. Give your head a shake:31:
