Browsing through the Down Detector comments, it appears that these outages are not centralized to any one single server host. For example, Twitch and Amazon share the same server, so naturally if one goes down the other does too. News sites like The Guardian, CNN, and The New York Times surely do not use the same servers. This seems like something big is happening. The question is, who is doing this? Is this a Deep State false flag to ramp up their hacker narrative, a real cyber attack, or a White Hat operation?
Most of the server backbone of mainstream sites is on either aws, azure services, or google cloud network. Smack all three down at once hard enough, the entirety of Web traffic in most places will spit out a wide variety of possible errors, but most likely a 500, 503, 521,or a 408 code (depending on the issues /codebase at hand).
If everything starts throwing 418s (aka i am a teapot) or 451s ("legality" error), however, ill take note bigly then.
Actually, many sites partially depend on the public cloud services from Amazon AWS and Microsoft, sometimes others. If AWS became completely unavailable, a lot of things would break, sometimes in weird and not obvious ways.
For example, some sites use their own server for the text, but store images in AWS to improve load times and reduce cost. In this case, the page would partially load...

Exactly what i was thinkin like to the point! I hope the party is startin finally!
If this is true, why not fix everything? (Yes, I'm impatient)
What a great way of putting it!
There is one particularly widely used CDN (content distribution network) that is down, https://status.fastly.com/incidents/vpk0ssybt3bj
