If it is an DNS error, why is the .onion site also offline?

DNS outage is an outcome of faulty BGP updates. As such not only the Internet can't see the FB network, there is also no connectivity from the FB network to the Internet right now.


My guess is that the FB backend also required DNS. The .Onion site isn't backed by a backend built on a onion native stack (is that a thing?)


It's not just/primarily a DNS error.
