Hello, 911? My Facebook is out!” Sound preposterous? Police departments on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean recently tweeted out requests for residents to refrain from using emergency numbers to report Facebook outages. In San Francisco, a police dispatcher issued the following news notice: “I just want to know if you can put a note out ,,,, asking them to not call 911 when a website doesn’t work? We have nothing to do with Facebook and when Facebook isn’t working, it’s not an emergency. Our lines are dedicated to handle life and death calls, and even though Facebook is important to a lot of people, it’s not a matter of life and death when it stops working. One caller even called back to tell me I was being rude because I told her it wasn’t a life threatening.” The Houston Police Department tweeted after a pair of recent Facebook outages that police are unable to help with problems stemming from the social network being down. “Folks please do not call the police because FacebookDown we are as upset as you are but we cannot fix Facebook. -
