For the past hour, I've been unable to connect to Facebook.
I spend a lot of time on Facebook. I enjoy a few of the games on it; and seeing what my friends and acquaintances are doing. For some friends and acquaintances, it is my usual way of connecting to them.
I don't understand why Facebook isn't working for me. I've never had a problem accessing Facebook unless my internet access goes down; and at the moment, I can reach all my other usual websites.
That article touches on it but in a poorly worded manner:

A peek at Down Detector (or your Twitter feed) reveals the problems are widespread. While it’s unclear exactly why the platforms are unreachable for so many people, their DNS records show that, like last week’s Slack outage, the problem is apparently DNS (it’s always DNS). Cloudflare senior vice president Dane Knecht notes that Facebook’s border gateway protocol routes — BGP helps networks pick the best path to deliver internet traffic — have been “withdrawn from the internet.”
This implies that the problem is DNS and that DNS and BGP are the same. Software will report DNS issues here but it's actually BGP that is broken.
