Google says the problem should be fixed for most users now
Multiple Google services and websites including YouTube, Gmail, Google Assistant, and Google Docs were down for around an hour on Monday morning after being hit with a widespread outage. Google acknowledged the issues with Gmail, affecting both its business and personal services, at 6:55AM ET, and said the problem was fixed for the “vast majority” of users at 7:52AM ET. Identical notices were posted across the status pages for the rest of Google’s services.
Reports quickly mounted on Twitter after users couldn’t access Google’s basic services, causing the hashtag “#YouTubeDOWN” to trend. At its peak, the status page for Google’s services was a sea of red, to indicate they were all suffering an outage. All services are now green indicating that they’re fully operational.
The world’s dependence on Google services led to a truly staggering number of reports on DownDetector, with the number of reported YouTube problems peaking at over 100,000. Some users found YouTube was still functional if they visited it in an incognito browser without signing in. Google Workspace apps like Docs and Meet were also down.

Oh I hate those outags
People and businesses can see the wonderful advantages of having all their computing on the cloud. /s
That’s what happens when everything is in “the cloud” and the cloud goes down.
You mean we have a 99.9978% uptime instead of a 99.9985% uptime?
I'm forced to use Gmail for work. I've been on it all day so if it did go down, it happened in the blink of an eye. Or maybe when I got up to refill my coffee.
As foretold ...
No, it will be much worse.
When the clouds truly break and the bits rain, one will wish they had an ark..
Geeeeee that’s really too bad for g8888gle’s loss of revenue, and also the monetization of foreign propaganda in the US.
Officially, this was termed “a glitch in the matrix”. It happens when they reset something and is sometimes recognizable as a feeling of deja vu.
I thought that non-spoon looked familiar.
At this moment Paypal is not working for eBay.
Well, not for me...
I do not use any of these services nor will I. So, who cares.

I even have NoScript block calls to google.com, googletagmanager, google-analytics, etc. If a web site won’t run with those things blocked, I click out.
You can and should live without google.
