You really were unable to come up with a single example of how this outage could have impacted people’s lives in drastic ways?

I invite you to see life through other people’s eyes every once in a while. I promise it’ll be worth it.

Doesn't matter in this case. If you use fb's platform in any way, deal with it - especially if that's the only straw in use.

People really should have other means and platforms to use and gravitate toward them. There is no good reason to prefer fb for anything.
