https://www.facebook.com/platform/api-status/ still returns "Facebook Platform is Healthy", but you can't even load https://developers.facebook.com/status/dashboard/. Why have status pages if they are so susceptible to going down themselves?

I remember an S3 outage a number of years ago where AWS discovered that their status page was hosted on S3. Whoops!

I believe this is why Github's status page is now on its own domain; so a github.com DNS outage won't take it down.

IIRC the AWS status page was fine but the indicator of the status of the different services was a red or green .PNG which were hosted on S3.
