   TL;DR   
      
   Many of the world’s biggest apps and websites have suddenly stopped   
   working properly.   
      
   Snapchat, Roblox, Fortnite, Duolingo and Canva were all suffering   
   problems, according to tracking website Down Detector.   
      
   The problems appear to be related to an issue at Amazon Web Services,   
   which offers infrastructure that underpins much of the modern internet.   
   The company was seeing “increased error rates” and delays with “multiple   
   AWS services”, it said on its service status page.

   Banks are affected too. CBDCs? pfft. It's feeling really weird right now.
