Known outages for Meta products, all our google oauth also running into 500s suddenly and weird timeouts on other google services

Man the postmortem on this is gonna be fun.

“Yeah so it turns out when Facebook goes down so does Google”

I do not envy the SREs at either company.

Seems to be related to Facebook being down. For some users, Facebook asks to log in with Google instead.

probably a billion people trying to log into gmail/youtube/whatever instead of FB.

More logical than my tin foil hat of today being Super Tuesday and an ideal time for a foreign adversary to instil election integrity fears in the US

Not seeing any updates on the status dashboard, but Google Workspace apps aren't loading properly for me.

Seems like things are "working", just super slow and timeouts, so maybe they're above some threshold for making a SLA reportable outage

Seems like a big coincidence that Facebook login is down at the same time. What could be going on?

It's probably DNS.

My outlandish theory is foreign election interference. Not a tin foil hat guy, but being Super Tuesday the thought crossed my mind

Coordinated 0day patch?

Google search is down for me. Seems to be a DNS problem.

Discord messages also appear with a large delay for me.

We are also seeing Google OAuth timing out and 500s.

This is with our own product that allows Login with Google, so not related in anyway to Meta Outage.

Seeing downstream effects on YouTube and mail.

I'm seeing major latency even on HN now.

It is extremely slow right now.

feels like an oauth zero day. What a time to be alive! (contain irony)
