Don't really think so. Whatsapp was blocked many times in my country and the only thing it caused was for companies to realize they were relying too much on it and for people start using telegram.

You are joking if you think that Facebook being down would cause protests.

[paulddraper]

There was a year of protests over a 0.02 EUR/liter fuel tax.

You think normal people give a shit about this whole thing? The moment Facebook doesn’t work in Europe people are voting out everyone who had anything to do with this.

I am a heavy technology user, and I don’t care about alternative app stores. Your everyday user cares even less.
