A little investigation:

Anon_Online notices of the event, OP probably high/drunk https://twitter.com/Anon_Online/status/278269562422697987

Odd-looking whois of facebook.com (notice the xxx domains and last update timestamp) http://pastebin.com/K4gAK3gi

Hmm

Those DNS records are legit. the domains aren't facebook.com, facebook.com is at the beginning. Do a whois for anyone, and you'll get similar results.

Edit, this is the google.com whois http://scrp.at/de0b2ad78907145d389c19b5cd61dc7b4d06e4e7

1) Anonymous are very unlikely to have anything to do with this;

2) There's nothing untoward about that whois report; you need to put the domain in speech marks to query the exact domain

This looks like a DNS Problem, can't be anon.
