Facebook-owned sites were down
Probably people flooding in to see if anyone knows why things are down. Even Google speed test was down, presumably from too many people testing if it's their internet that's at issue.

I'd guess that automatic processes dominate. Maybe billions of phone apps polling for facebook connectivity (FB messenger is down, for example).
