Tens of thousands of people trying to access major global websites covering news, e-commerce, and government reported outages early on Tuesday.

Sites including the New York Times, CNN, Bloomberg, the Financial Times, the Guardian, Amazon, Spotify, Reddit, Twitch, and the U.K. government website were down, based on user reports on the outage monitoring site Downdetector.com and from attempts at access by reporters at Financial News sister title Barron’s.
