I wish it could last for some years.

As many of you know, DNS for FB services has been affected and this is likely a symptom of the actual issue, and that's that BGP peering with Facebook peering routers has gone down, very likely due to a configuration change that went into effect shortly before the outages happened (started roughly 1540 UTC). There are people now trying to gain access to the peering routers to implement fixes, but the people with physical access is separate from the people with knowledge of how to actually authenticate to the systems and people who know what to actually do, so there is now a logistical challenge with getting all that knowledge unified. Part of this is also due to lower staffing in data centers due to pandemic measures.

I have actually received an increased number calls from people who would have whatsapped me... One can hear the frustration in their voices that they have been forced to talk.

Balderdash, DNS can easily be rebuilt, as long as their servers are fine it's just a matter of pointing the internet to the right location when they request resources.

In simpler terms, sometime today Facebook deleted the map telling the world’s computers how to find its various online properties. As a result, when one types Facebook.com into a web browser, the browser has no idea where to find Facebook.com, and so returns an error page. Rebuilding this is just the opposite, create a map of where to find facebook, instagram, whatsapp and distribute this map, reports indicate that this needs to be done on a group of servers which needs to be accessed physically.

There are constant backups of data and they'll be used to restore FB, WhatsApp and IG. Lakini I do hope that some misschief is involved to shake Zukabaga out of his arrogant castle.

Isn't DNS a self-building system?
