Online news outlets Amazon, The Age, and The Guardian among others were temporarily shut down due to an unexplained global website outage linked to provider 'Fastly.'
Shortly after the outage, the United Kingdom's attorney general tweeted that the country's main gov.uk was down, providing an email for queries.
Adapting to the outage, popular tech website the Verge took to Google Docs to report news, while UK technology editor at The Guardian started a Twitter thread to report on the problems.
