The Social Media Outage

from The Causey Consulting Podcast · host Sara Causey

On Monday, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus went down. Was your business impacted by it? Did you hardly even notice? Key topics:✔️ As I've said repeatedly: the future is now. Censorship. Banning & shadow banning. Was the outage really caused by a network problem or was it something else? I dunno, but I do know that if you're still out there basing your entire income on a platform you don't own or control, you're playing with fire. ✔️ Do you have access to your own data? If you've been talking to JKTheButterfly82634 on social media and don't know her actual name and email address, how would you reach her again if that platform died?✔️ Nothing is too big or too popular to fail. Remember the mess with Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers? Or Enron?  Link to Verge article I mention: https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/4/22708989/instagram-facebook-outage-messenger-whatsapp-errorNeed more?
