Thanos Is Getting Blamed For Facebook Being Down

✖

Facebook is down at the time of writing this (Monday, October 4th), and Marvel's Thanos is getting the blame for it. While Facebook is stumbling to stay active, Twitter has exploded with Marvel fans bringing Thanos into this mess. The reasoning seems to be that some close proximity in problems with Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp have convinced fans that a modern-day Thanos is doing his "good work" of balancing the universe by dusting Mark Zuckerberg's servers, all across the universe. And yet, the thought of Zuckerberg's social media empire being decimated by Thanos seems to fill a lot of fans with a sense of... righteous peace?

With these social media sites down, the good work is done, and Thanos is smiling on his works from The Garden.

So, someone deleted large sections of the routing....that doesn't mean Facebook is just down, from the looks of it....that means Facebook is GONE. pic.twitter.com/OCZWPD2okw

Another reason for the rampant Thanos associations are these reports about how significant a problem Facebook has on its hands right now.

It's Not That Serious

No. Facebook isn't "gone"

Essentially what's happened is the "phone book" that is used to look up the "location" of the Facebook servers has been wiped

This tweet infers that if you delete a phone book all the people vanish too

I don't think Thanos took down Facebook https://t.co/Ux2g6FTWWE

Other tech-heads are countering with the idea that while Facebook has a problem - it's not THAT serious of a problem.

The idea that Mark Zuckerberg's social media empire has been destroying the world has been a source of our collective anxiety for years now. There have been endless discussions about what - if anything - we could do about the hold social media now has on our lives. If we knew it could be as hiring Thanos...

May we should not rush to the comfort of thinking that this is the end. Maybe the works of Thanos are just getting started.
