Services from Alphabet Inc.’s Google experienced widespread outages around the world Monday, 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 6:30 a.m. in New York. Google tools were failing to load for users in the U.S., the U.K. and across Europe, but began functioning again for many people after about an hour.
