On June 12th, for a few hours, the internet literally felt like it hit pause. Spotify wouldn’t open, Google Home stopped responding along with Twitch, Snapchat, and even some AI applications
The tech giant isn't the only platform reporting issues. Spotify, Discord, Amazon Web Services and Snapchat are currently topping the charts on DownDetector. Even the Pokemon Trading Card Game is having problems.
