Hacker News Reader

Anecdotal, but I just tried Google + Bing and topline Facebook-related news is all about the outage.

Also anecdotal, but I didn't know about the whistleblower until I searched Twitter for "facebook" when I learned about the outage.

I also didn't know about the whistleblower until seeing it as a top tweet, however...

The whistleblower is kinda silly

If FB could increase revenue by having a "safer" algorithm then of course they would. Every company is just trying to increase revenue..
