I would say this is a bit misleading. Personally, I was able to access my FB building this morning (after the outage started) and have continued to be able to use my badge with no problem since. Not saying that there are no employees experiencing this issue, but it is not affecting all Facebook employees.

Apparently this issue is effecting specifically some of the people who are trying to fix the outage https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28749244

Facebook isn't by chance experimenting with an advanced self-aware AI with access to its security systems, is it...?

I imagine the authentication systems for the datacenters are more rigorous than most Facebook buildings, right?

In fairness the tweet doesn’t say all employees but the title here is ambiguous.

Given it's a routing problem, doesn't it matter where your office is on the network with respect to the servers that control the door locks?

You could be in a zone of stability that's not affected by the overall chaos.

Honestly having buildings automatically lock down like this sounds like an absolute worst practice. FB headquarters is in california. What happens when the big one hits? server is killed and no one can get inside and look for survivors? Shouldn't need a functional network connection to be able to open the door of a building, but here we are I guess.

Honest questions!

Do you have any ethical qualms working for Facebook?

Do you feel the criticisms are blown out of proportion?

Tell me your industry and I can probably tell you ethical problems with it.
