and so it begins. I don't know precisely what the "it" is that is beginning, but I believe something is among the horizon. Who is next? 

Yes, I am conspiracy theorist.  If I am right that something sinister is coming, then I have no choice but to gloat and make the doubters feel bad about themselves for the rest of their lives.

I am not generally a conspiracy theorist but with those separate outage it I started to wonder about it myself. 

Meta-owned Facebook, Messenger and Instagram experienced worldwide outages Tuesday, with more than half a million users unable to access the social media apps in one of the tech giant’s largest glitches in years.

 Other major social media apps, including TikTok, Snapchat and Google’s YouTube video platform, also appeared to suffer service issues on a smaller scale, according to DownDetector, a site that tracks web outage reports.

 The outages — reported across Europe and Asia as well as the US — began around 10:20 a.m. ET. The Meta-owned apps were mostly back online as of 2 p.m. ET. All other apps were working by this afternoon.

I get one company having an outage. That's nothing suspicious. But 3 big companies within a month? I don't know, that is something unusual.
