Massive internet outage reported: Google, Cloudflare, Twitch all down

Is the entire internet down?

Around 2:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 12, users started reporting widespread service disruptions at popular websites and apps, including Twitch, Gmail, Discord, Nintendo Switch Online, Spotify, and dozens of other platforms.

The service Down Detector showed a spike in error messages across the internet, and users are taking to social media to complain of problems at their favorite websites. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis owns both Mashable and Down Detector.) As of this writing, Mashable reporters are also experiencing problems accessing some Google services, such as Google Meet.

Cloudflare, a popular IT management company that provides hosting services, is among the services disrupted. Cloudflare reported “Broad Cloudflare service outages” on its website on Thursday afternoon. The company initially reported that they are “continuing to investigate this issue.”

However, a more recent message states, “We are starting to see services recover. We still expect to see intermittent errors across the impacted services as systems handle retried and caches are filled.”
