I was just relaxing and listening to music on my phone when suddenly my network seemed to drop. I checked, and my mobile data says it's connected with a full signal, but I can't load any web pages or get messages on Discord. The odd part is that Instagram works perfectly fine. Is this some sort of conspiracy, or is there a legitimate issue with my phone's data? The problem only happens when I'm not connected to Wi-Fi.

This seems to be more of a carrier-related issue than a problem with your actual phone. Sometimes apps like Instagram can maintain connections even if there's an overall data issue. You might want to try toggling airplane mode or restarting your device to refresh the network connection. If that doesn't help, double-check your APN settings since they can sometimes reset or get messed up after updates. It’s frustrating, but it’s usually just some weird networking behavior, not a grand conspiracy.
Haha, I figured the Zuckerberg thing was a joke! I did try toggling airplane mode and rebooting before I posted, but after I gave up, it started working again. Thanks for the detailed advice anyway!
