Facebook stopped announcing the vast majority of their IP space to the DFZ during this.
People keep repeating this but I don't think it's true. It's probably based on this tweet: https://twitter.com/ryan505/status/1445118376339140618 but that's an aggregate adding up prefix counts from many sessions. The total number of hosts covered by those announcements didn't vary by nearly as much, since to a significant extent it were more specifics (/24) of larger prefixes (e.g. /17) that disappeared, while those /17s stayed. (There were no covering prefixes for WhatsApp's NS addresses so those were completely unreachable from the DFZ.) -- Niels.
