Communications BLACKOUT. Rolling Internet Outages on the Clearnet on Downdetector. It is more than Facebook

During the inauguration testing, texting on different cell phone carriers also had issues for a hour or so in my area. Streaming on different news websites was also interrupted.

This morning, Mitel, Frontier, Intermedia, Microsoft, American Airlines, WOW, USAA, Surfline

All above so spikes at the same time

Nextdoor was also this morning

Last night well after Facebook was back online:

ESPN, Blizzard Battle.net gaming service, STEAM

You called them 'rolling outages' and it made me think of China -- John C Dvorak is always complaining how Internet-connected systems rely heavily on microservices (web services) and I have to wonder whether China's rolling POWER blackouts are somehow to blame? These microservices may live on machines running in China. Hell, the backdoors China builds into their network hardware may rely on access to systems in China. LOL

Yesterday evening:

Outlook.com, Office 365, Nintendo eShop

All at the same time.

Don't buy the disgruntled sys-admin story for the Facebook outage. It's bigger than that.

Agree. They may be running an upgrade network segment by segment.

AI is real and its been in use for sometime now.

And firmware reboots can bring back default passwords...

A long internet blackout makes no sense for me. They would make us blind, but they would be blind too.

There were rumors they want to split the internet into a two class internet. First class internet for them and a dead second class internet for us. That would be more plausible, but is only speculation.

I remember Operation Jade Helm a few years back.

Some conspiracy buffs inflated the rumors to encompass some sort of martial law, which of course was ridiculous and didn't happen.

There was another school of thought though that believed they were installing internet "filters" or regional/branch kill switches, as the stated goal of the operation was to be able to operate successfully on American soil without undue notice/interference by the civilian or local government segments. As we didn't get widespread reports of "military operations" on home soil at that time, we can conclude that the goal was achieved... whatever they were doing, they did it largely without being noticed.

Is it possible they installed devices at crucial junctions of the internet superhighway, which filter or divert content with certain qualifying characteristics? Or which enable certain branches to be disabled at will, remotely?

Not saying I know this to be true, just repeating some of what was being suggested at the time. It certainly makes one think. They may have moved on to simply blacking out certain infrastructure entities and the momentary blackouts are the cut-over to the new system being managed.

Very interesting. I hadn't heard this potential operation during Jade Helm. Thank you for posting. Green Karma given

Is anyone else watching the show?

Yeah, our credit union was down for 17 hours the day of the Fakebook attack. A wide, pervasive attack that did more damage than they're letting on.

Russia and China most likely.

More likely from within, just like the Facebook "whistle blower"

Practice makes perfect.

Testing 1,2,3

this was fun the other day. can they do it so FB goes down permanently though?

Of course they can

Rumors? Those in leadership and tech have been openly calling for internet 2.0 since the 2000s.

There was a lot of talk and buzz about internet 2.0 during the Obama administration.
