Massive internet blackout: websites and apps around the world went down

(CNN) – Countless websites and apps around the world went down Tuesday after Fastly, a major content distribution network, reported a widespread failure.

It includes news sites and apps like CNN, The Guardian, New York Times, and many others. It also provides content delivery for Twitch, Pinterest, HBO Max, Hulu, Reddit, Spotify, and other services.

Other major internet sites and platforms, including Amazon, Target, and Gov.uk, are down.

The problem appears to be related to an outage at Fastly, a cloud service provider.

“We are continuing to investigate this issue,” the company said on its status of service (which was working) website.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
