Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Strange that there is a SPOF for Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp.

I had the impression that they are still run like mostly independent companies who only share some data on the backend.
AFAIK, I remember reading something about Instagram moving into Facebook datacentres some time ago. I believe they were on AWS before the acquisition.
Yeah that's what I was thinking too, so this is probably DNS related.
Might I ask what’s SPOF?
