Google services including Gmail, YouTube suffer massive outage


The website DownDetector, which collates user-reported errors on websites, mobile networks and other platforms, was showing tens of thousands of complaints around 7am in New York, extending to Google’s office tools such as Drive and Meet, Google Maps, and Google’s smart home products such as Nest. — dpa

Services from Alphabet Inc’s Google experienced widespread outages around the world on Dec 14, temporarily preventing people from accessing Gmail, YouTube and other products from the Internet giant.

Errors ranged from a notice that “something went wrong” on YouTube, to “there was an error. Please try again later,” when attempting to log into the company’s mail product from about 6.30am in New York. Google tools were failing to load for users in the US, the UK and across Europe, but began functioning again for many people after about an hour.
