Pornhub traffic surged by more than 10 per cent during Facebook outage

Guess everyone didn't just on Twitter after all!

Facebook's global outage on Monday, it seems, was a reminder to many overusers of social media to get a grip. Reports suggest that when the platform went down for around five hours, taking Instagram, Whatsapp and Messenger with it, use of PornHub spiked by up to 10.5 per cent.  Guess everyone didn't go to Twitter after all. According to the Pornhub Insights team, the spike amounts to about half a million additional users during each hour that Facebook's services were down. Billions of Facebook users worldwide were unable to get online on Monday evening. Cloudflare explained the outage simply as if  "someone had pulled the cables from their data centres all at once and disconnected them from the internet". https://www.instagram.com/p/CUpz4ZyorLP/
