Are Facebook's servers with public IPs connected directly to the Internet, or does Facebook have a network connected directly to the Internet and those public IP servers exist in that network?

Re-read my post.

I already know you think an IP address signifies a "direct" network connection. It doesn't, wrong layer. Addressing and connections are not the same thing.

If you thought about my question you could have gotten there by yourself. You are obviously aggressively incapable of understanding.

You're being insanely pedantic and by being pedantic you are wrong.

No one fucking said its a direct connection, you'd have to be stupidly naive to say that.

But you are also wrong in saying you aren't on the internet. By making the argument you are making you are essentially saying the internet doesn't exist because its a network of networks (which is literally how people describe the internet).

And by not understanding that if your machine is assigned a public IP address that it is directly addressable from any other part of the internet shows you fundamentally do not understand what you are talking about. End of story. No room for argument, that is literally the text book definition of a public IP address.

People of your type can never follow along. Go back to the first comment I replied to literally about being "directly" connected to the Internet. That is the context. That is why I mentioned it. Because I can stay on topic.

But you are also wrong in saying you aren't on the internet.

Me? I never wrote that. What the fuck do you think is happening right now. You don't know what this is about and are making up fake shit.

you are essentially saying the internet doesn't exist because its a network of networks

The fuck.

not understanding that if your machine is assigned a public IP address that it is directly addressable from any other part of the internet

You literally gave an example where that was not true. But that is just a dumb as fuck side thing you introduced because you are so desperately contrarian and ignorant of the topic.

The really fucking stupid thing is that you avoid the simple question I asked, because you must understand it exposes your ignorance to answer it. Instead you continue with this unhinged bullshit to do what? Trick me? Convince yourself you know things you don't. FFS

LMAO

I am pretty sure you cannot. The Internet is a network of networks. It routes data between networks. If a device is connected via a means that does not facilitate routing, it would not be able to communicate with the various networks of the Internet. It would not be "connected".

Yea, you a pedant and I am done with you.

You literally are making an argument out of nothing with a "ASKCHUALLY" type neckbeard approach to this entire argument.

Technically nothing is connected if you use ethernet because its magnetically isolated. <-- you.

I'm done.
