Theirs is not a DDoS. They have had multiple technical issues over recent weeks.

Researcher refuses Telegram’s bounty award, discloses auto-delete bug
Telegram took months to fix "self-destruct" message bug. Then requested silence.
Telegram patched another image self-destruction bug in its app earlier this year. This flaw was a different issue from the one reported in 2019. But the researcher who reported the bug isn't pleased with Telegram's months-long turnaround time—and an offered $1,159 (€1,000) bounty award in exchange for his silence. Like other messaging apps, Telegram allows senders to set communications to "self-destruct," such that messages and any media attachments are automatically deleted from the device after a set period of time. Such a feature offers extended privacy to both the senders and the recipients intending to communicate discreetly. -

Facebook and some of its apps go down simultaneously
Facebook and some of its apps, including Instagram and WhatsApp, appeared to go down on Monday for many users, who turned to Twitter and other social media platforms to lament the outage
The social network and its apps began displaying error messages before noon Eastern time, users reported. All of the company’s family of apps — Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger — showed outage reports, according to the site downdetector.com, which monitors web traffic and site activity. It was unclear what the cause of the error messages were. Outages are not uncommon for apps, but to have so many interconnected apps at the world’s largest social media company go down at the same time is rare. -

However, this does not necessarily make sense as regions that connect to Facebook without going over the Internet are ALSO down, completely.

On my end, Facebook DNS entries are non-existent.

So they have two issues.
No DNS entries AND no BGP routes... holy cow!

CF said that DNS was only removed after BGP removed the IPs.
