As is Instagram and WhatsApp apparently.
Owned by Facebook too, aren’t they?

Yes. Apparently they remotely pushed a config change which took their BGP routes down and locked themselves out of the switches/routers. No technical staff at the datacentre because of the pandemic, but once staff arrived their security cards wouldn’t work 
So glad I’m retired and out of that game, now

What does half of this mean in layman’s terms, please?
A network engineer screwed up, basically, and took FB’s entire network down. It was done remotely so they couldn’t get back in to fix it.

Are they kidding?
I used phone and SMS to keep in touch, while WhatsApp offline.
My contact with the world does not revolve around their apps 
Had I not had a technical interest in their issues it wouldn’t have affected me at all.
