is it a big deal? so what if fb goes down, people will just spam twitter about it. reading social media is not some crucial function, it's just a compulsion. and , like drugs, withdrawal symptoms take some time to develop

For the world no it doesn't matter. For the company, every minute down is ads not being looked at and income being generated
