The Cloudflare outage comes less than a month after a huge Amazon Web Services crash took down Fortnite, Alexa, Snapchat, and other services, which was followed by issues at Microsoft Azure that brought Xbox offline for hours.

A clear demonstration that the centralisation and over-reliance of the internet into a few corporate hands is a bad idea.

Chinese users were asking US ones if it was true about potentially going bankrupt from a medical emergency as they thought it was Chinese govt propaganda.

Then were asking about maternity leave, housing, workers rights and being similar aghast that the truth wasn't propaganda!
