00:00Well, well, well, if you are facing problems in posting on X or if you are getting late and the open AI is chat GPT is not working, don't be surprised because this is happening at the back end.
00:14Users are reporting lag, delays and no success, no luck while using these websites where you can either use the social media or maybe post something.
00:29Alina, my colleague is here. Alina, why is this happening? There is a company called Cloudflare which is behind hosting these portals, giving them space.
00:38What is it and what is the situation?
00:40So, Cloudflare is basically a company which works behind the scenes and most of the websites are run by that particular company.
00:48So, currently X is down, chat GPT is down, even perplexity is down.
00:52So, this outrage has been since Tuesday morning, it is being set and all the major internet services, world's biggest websites are run by this company.
01:03So, at this point of time everything is down, nothing is working.
01:07When you go to any of the websites like X, you can't see anything that is, you can't refresh anything, you can't search for anything, nothing is working right now.
01:17Right, right. So, X users, OpenAI users, perplexity and so much so, the Amazon pages also are not loading.
01:26In fact, you can't order, possibly your orders could also be delayed.
01:30So, brace for the impact here and this is not something that the world has seen for the first time, we have seen it in the past also and trust me, I don't want to jinx it but there are possibilities.
01:41This is the new age warfare to disrupt the proceedings, the very backbone of an American company or a Russian company and this is the new age warfare.
