Facebook outage: what went wrong and why did it take so long to fix after social platform went down? Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp all went down, and reappeared online after a six-hour global outage. Why did Facebook go down? Read more. Facebook accidentally, we assume sent an update to a deep-level routing protocol on the internet that said, basically, "hey we don't have any servers any more xoxo" — alex hern alexhern October 4, Topics Facebook Social networking Instagram explainers.
Reuse this content. Read More. The social media giant's services were back online as of EDT. SEE: A cloud company asked security researchers to look over its systems. Here's what they found. In a subsequent blog post, Facebook's VP of infrastructure, Santosh Janardhan, said the outage had been caused by a technical issue affecting its Border Gateway Protocol BCP routing system, which had "a cascading effect on the way our data centers communicate, bringing our services to a halt.
Monday's outage also affected internal tools at Facebook that made diagnosing and fixing the problem more difficult, said Janardhan. According to the New York Times, the outage rendered engineers' access cards useless, meaning staff couldn't get into the buildings where the affected servers were housed.
We want to make clear at this time we believe the root cause of this outage was a faulty configuration change. BGP was originally designed to interconnect internet service providers across the globe. It now forms the routing backbone of the internet. Facebook also uses BGP as a foundation for its data center routing design. Select Ads on the left sidebar, followed by Ad Settings on the next screen.
Here, you'll see a few categories. Disable the slider in Data about your activity from partners and Facebook won't use your activity on other sites to show ads on Facebook.
Open the Categories used to reach you and you can prevent Facebook from using information like your employer, education, and relationship status to show ads. Pick Interest Categories and Other Categories at the bottom to see what Facebook thinks you're interested in, and choose Remove for any topics you don't want to influence ads. Next, Audience-based advertising lets you see lists that advertisers have placed you on based on your information or activity.
You can check each of these lists, see why you're on it, and prevent that list from being used to show you ads here. If you disable the slider in Ads shown off of Facebook , websites that use Facebook ad services can't use your profile to affect the ads you see outside of Facebook. Finally, setting Social interactions to Only Me prevents Facebook from using pages that you like to show ads to your friends. Just like you get sick of seeing other people's posts on Facebook, sometimes you don't want to share your own updates with certain friends.
Maybe you don't want your boss seeing what you were up to on your day off, or don't care for another round of commentary on your life from your sister. Using a few methods, you can easily hide your posts from certain people.
If you only want to hide a post from someone once, click the audience selector button on the Create Post window. This appears under your name and probably says Friends or Public. The audience menu has many options to let you control exactly who sees your updates. One option is to choose Friends except and search for any friends you don't want to see the post. Click the red Remove button to keep them from seeing the post, then Save Changes to finish. Conversely, you can pick Specific friends to only share with people you pick.
To get even more granular, try the Custom option, which lets you share with specific people or lists, as well as prevent certain people or lists from seeing the post. To keep someone from seeing your posts all of the time, you can add them to your Restricted list.
People on this list won't see anything you post unless it's set to Public or you tag them in it. To add someone to this list, visit their page, select the Friends button, and then click Edit Friend List. Scroll down and click the Restricted list. Photo tagging is a fun feature on the surface, but it's also a privacy risk.
If someone takes an embarrassing picture of you and tags you in it, all your friends will be able to see that picture. There's always the risk that someone could use a tagged photo to obtain too much personal information about you. Plus, Facebook recognizing your face is a little creepy on its own.
Completely disabling tags is a drastic step, but you can disable just facial recognition instead. Change the only setting under Face Recognition here to No.
