What you did/experience last night?

Interesting. Is it because you use some other social media ?

The internet is literally designed to survive WWIII. Your concerns about the US infrastructure is not incorrect but a management issue, not a technical one. In case of large scale BGP attacks much will go down but big ISP's like google will simply drop all non rpki routes and naughty neighbours & continue life per usual. Perhaps such a attack should happen as this would force everyone to have their shit in order resulting in the likes of you having peace of mind instead of valid concerns.

Woken by a rain storm. Facebook have denied responsibility.

Haha, try Eiderdown Pillow. I heard they are really nice

I’m don’t really like Facebook but I don’t really get this argument.

How is it facebook’s fault that regular SMS is so bad in these countries that their platform is preferable?

What’s stopping the government from launching their own platform if they want a utility?

And why is it that if you make a product that ends up really popular then suddenly you’re a utility?

This is so interesting. I think you right there will be turn around and people would love to disconnect and live a offline life.

Sure, It makes sense. I will restate it

This is so amazing to read that people are doing something interesting other than just being online.

Most of the people in this thread are not using FB social media that is really interesting. Like people have already started making distance with social media and use internet for something productive.

hahaha!! I sent international SMS to friends. Spent money to be online haha

Ya, we still have other options to connect. But one thing I experienced sometime back. These days we don't store contact number as we are connected on Social Media. I had hard time connecting with my old friends. I had to call a lot of other friends to connect with him.
