Cloudflare outage hits global internet as X, ChatGPT, Spotify and gaming services falter
Parts of the Internet stopped working on Tuesday evening amid a technical problem at Cloudflare, a company that helps websites secure and manage their Internet traffic.
Access to services like X, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, music streaming service Spotify and the popular online game League of Legends was restricted, and in some cases, users were met with the error “try again in a few minutes”. The outage even bricked Downdetector, a site that can normally tell you which other websites are down.
