Facebook faced the « worst outage » in years, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post on October 6 and issued an apology for the troubles users faced as most of the social networking giant’s services went down for nearly six hours on Monday. Zuckerberg also put out a staunch defence against the accusation that Facebook prioritised profit over safety. In a long note to Facebook employees, Zuckerberg said that the media coverage misrepresented the company’s “work and our motives.” “Many of the claims don’t make any sense,” he added. A whistleblower has testified before the US Congress about a trove of internal documents that reportedly show how the company pushed for higher profits while being cavalier about user safety.
