Whether you’re using a Mac, an iPhone, or (shudder) a PC, dozens of popular Internet services in both the United States and Western Europe are down right now, or at least acting slowly and erratically.
This kind of thing is often due to an outage in Amazon Web Services, but this time, it’s definitely a little broader than that. A quick look at DownDetector.com and the ThousandEyes Outages sites shows huge problems across a large number of services. It’s not just Slack and Reddit, it’s also Microsoft 365 services including Outlook, as well as Azure hosting, Cloudflare, gaming networks, Gmail… you name it, you have a problem.
