News - Internet Down, X, ChatGPT, Canva KO due to Cloudflare Down 11/18/2025

Today, half the internet went down: 🔻 X (Twitter), ChatGPT, Canva, Spotify, and countless other sites stopped working or displayed errors. The problem? A massive downtime at Cloudflare, one of the invisible pillars of the internet, which manages and protects the traffic of millions of sites worldwide. In the video, I'll explain: • what happened today, November 18, 2025, • why X, ChatGPT, Canva, and many others were down, • what Cloudflare said about the causes of the blackout, • and above all, how risky it is to have so much internet in the hands of just a few companies. Finally, I'll leave you with a question: 👉 How dependent are we on these infrastructures? And can a single bug really "shut down" the digital lives of billions of people? Let me know in the comments if you noticed the downtime and how it impacted your day. ⸻ 🔗 Sources: • Reuters – Cloudflare outage cuts access to X, ChatGPT and other web platforms for thousands https://www.reuters.com/business/elon... • Wired Italia – Cloudflare down takes X, ChatGPT, Canva and many other sites offline https://www.wired.it/article/clouflar... • Firstpost – Cloudflare outage disrupts internet, X, ChatGPT & Canva down https://www.firstpost.com/tech/cloudf... • The Guardian – Cloudflare outage causes error messages across the Internet https://www.theguardian.com/technolog... • Business Insider – Cloudflare Outage Takes Down Parts of the Internet https://www.businessinsider.com/cloud... • Cloudflare Status Page – official history and updates https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ ⸻ #news #notizia #cloudflare #down #x #chatgpt #canva #spotify #internetoutage #serverdown #tecnologia #web #infrastrutturedigitali #intualità
