"Earlier this week, your Facebook posts could have been rewritten on the Great Wall of China, not just on your friends’ 
walls. For about 30 minutes on Tuesday morning,
Facebook traffic in the US, or at least the connections going through AT&T’s Internet services, did not travel via the 
most direct route.
Normally, AT&T passes packets of data to US-based Level3 Communications, which in turn hands them off to Facebook’s 
servers."
