Facebook’s week from hell
The Briefing7 Loka 2021

Facebook’s week from hell

Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus and Facebook Messenger crashed Tuesday morning. All the Facebook-owned sites were down for six hours.

It’s been described as the company's worst outage since 2008 and Facebook lost $99.75 million in income during the downtime. The following day a Facebook whistleblower fronted a US Senate inquiry calling on the US government to do more to reign in Facebook.

The Australian newspaper’s technology editor David Swan joins us to consider Facebook’s future. Is it on the wane….? Will a competitor knock it off its perch…? Or will Facebook begin to thrive so we can scroll for years and years to come…?
