Downdetector seems to be showing a lot of site outages being reported from about half four. Theregister.com suggests it's from 5pm, and that Facebook had to use their Twitter account to apologise for any inconvenience. Haha.
 
XDA suggest it may be a domain name server outage as Facebook controls its own "address book". The DNS records that tell systems how to navigate to them has been withdrawn from global routing tables. Clear as mud.
 
There was something on alternative news last week (not mainstream media) about a facebook whistle blower spilling the beans on their dodgy goings on.
