A significant disruption in internet services has left users worldwide struggling to access popular platforms such as X, Canva, ChatGPT, and several multiplayer games. The outage, traced back to Cloudflare, a leading internet infrastructure company, has raised concerns about the fragility of global digital ecosystems. On Tuesday, Cloudflare acknowledged the issue, stating, ‘Cloudflare is experiencing an internal service degradation. Some services may be intermittently impacted. We are focused on restoring service.’ The company, which provides critical network services to businesses globally, plays a pivotal role in enhancing the security, performance, and reliability of internet properties. The outage has sparked widespread discussions online, with users expressing frustration and disbelief. ‘Your things aren’t broken; Cloudflare is down. This is basically a global internet outage,’ one Reddit user commented. Another questioned, ‘Cloudflare went down today, and half the internet broke, including X. How does one company have that much impact?’ The incident underscores the interconnected nature of modern internet infrastructure and the far-reaching consequences of disruptions in key services.
