Google finally resolves widespread outage affecting search engine
NY Post
Google said it has resolved the issues that caused a widespread service outage on Friday morning that affected its search engine, news feed and other products.
A spike in user reports regarding services outages on Google products occurred around 8 a.m. ET, according to Down Detector, a website that tracks online outages. More than 1,000 reports were posted as of 9 am ET and originated from locations across the US.
Google initially confirmed it had identified an “ongoing issue with serving some features in Google Search” on its service dashboard, but did not provide further details or address reports of problems with other products.
In a subsequent post on X, Google’s search liaison account said the glitch impacted “some results on Google News, Discover and other products, for those who have asked about specific ones.”
By noon ET, Google said “the issue has now been resolved.” The cause of the outage remains unclear.
The service outage prompted a wave of reaction from users on X and other platforms.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
