To back up this point, currently BBC News have it as their most significant story, with "live" reporting: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5y8k7k6v1rt

This is alongside "live" reporting on the Israel/Gaza conflict as well as news about Epstein and the Louvre heist.

This is mainstream news.

I like how their headline starts with Snapchat and Roblox being affected.

The journalist found out about it from their tween.

They're the only apps English people are allowed to use, the rest of the internet is banned by Ofcom. /s

Actually I am keen to know how Roblox got impacted. Following the terrible Halloween Outage in 2021, they posted 2 years ago about migrating to a cell based architecture in https://corp.roblox.com/newsroom/2023/12/making-robloxs-infr...

Perhaps some parts of the migration haven't been completed, or there is still a central database in us-east1
