I'm afraid that when I discovered that Netsurf was repeatedly failing to
access m.facebook.com over a period of several hours, I assumed that
Facebook had decided to slam some kind of JavaScript-driven traffic
throttling/bot banning device on their site that banned all
'non-standard' browsers (having had that experience with a number of
websites over the past year).

But apparently somebody actually *has* taken down the mighty Facebook,
which rather amuses me.

They took it all down themselves. Rumour has it that a new configuration
required that their servers were taken offline for some changes but once
they did that they couldn't access the servers to upload those changes. A
schoolboy error by a firm run by a schoolboy.
