Facebook is down globally

Something about one of its satellites . The FB members are getting a notification. Some on twitter are saying it's due to hackers. If it is the satellite, I wonder what happened? We here have been talking about this happening, for many reasons. This is also crippling businesses, worldwide.

I called my sister, in CA. And my one in NY. They said theirs is down also.

Really not a "space" topic. I think we'll close this for now.
