Jinse Finance reported that, according to tracking website DownDetector, several of the world's largest applications and websites have suddenly gone down. Snapchat, Roblox, Fortnite, Duolingo, and Canva have all experienced issues. These problems appear to be related to an issue with Amazon Web Services, which provides the infrastructure supporting much of the modern internet. The company stated on its service status page that "Amazon Cloud Services" is experiencing "increased error rates" and latency issues.
