Facebook has many servers. When you type in "www.facebook.com" you send a query message to a DNS server which directs you to a randomly chosen server near to you.
For Facebook to go down entirely by accident is quite impossible as long as at least 1 server somewhere in the world is running a working version. Ignoring the case the entire internet went down which is also a theoretical impossibility without destroying the entire surface of the Earth and then some. |
I dont knowm It was down for my area atleast. I tried multiple browsers and my internet was working fine.
|
I'd imagine if the servers nearest to you are down, it'll redirect you to the next closest server.

Also, you clearly weren't around for the height of the BYOND Harvest Moon fangames. Those were ridiculously fun. |
