Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram all going down at the same time sure seems like an easily-understandable and publicly-popular example of why breaking up a certain monopoly into at least three pieces might not be a bad idea.

Based on the Q2 earnings for Facebook, about $26M worth of ads would have run on Facebook during the two hours it's been down so far.

If emailing someone at Facebook they will still likely get your email albeit delayed. Your email server will be queuing the email with a temporary failure and retry over the course of the next day. SMTP is still pretty good protocol for asynchronous communication.

Someone on the Facebook recovery effort has explained that a routine BGP update went wrong, which in turn locked out those with remote access who could reverse the mistake. Those who do have physical access do not have authorization on the servers. Catch-22.
