Amazon's Global Outage Brings Down Major Apps, Websites Around The World

Written By Guest User

Is this thing working? Internet users around the world experienced multiple disruptions on many popular apps and websites Monday as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon’s cloud computing service, experienced an outage. As of Monday afternoon, it was reportedly working again.

  • The outage impacted about 2,500 companies and 11 million people, according to Downdetector data. The disruptions could cost companies hundreds of billions of dollars, due to millions of workers not being able to access critical systems during the outage.

Some in the Mo News community joked that the massive internet disruption felt like an “adult snow day” — but for the web. AWS is the world’s leading provider of cloud infrastructure technology and powers online services around the world. It accounts for about a third of the cloud infrastructure market, ahead of Microsoft or Google.

In case you missed it… President Trump mocked the nationwide “No Kings” protests Saturday by posting a series of AI-generated videos and memes — including one showing him wearing a crown and another piloting a jet labeled “King Trump” that drops poop on demonstrators below.

  • The videos appeared on Truth Social as an estimated 7 million Americans joined anti-Trump rallies across all 50 states.

    • Protest organizers called it one of the largest demonstrations in U.S. history. GOP officials dismissed the events as partisan “hate America” rallies.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) Monday said: “The president uses social media to make a point... He is using satire to make a point.” We’ve covered Trump’s use of memes before.
