Heck of a coincidence I must say...

I can imagine this affects many other sites that use FB for authentication and tracking.

If people pay proper attention to it, this is not just an average run of the mill "site outage", and instead of checking on or worrying about backups of my FB data (Thank goodness I can afford to lose it all), I'm making popcorn...

Hopefully law makers all study up and pay close attention.

What transpires next may prove to be very interesting.

Indeed, what happened shows a good reason not to rely only on social log-in for various sites.
