Fastly CDN Outage and Internet Infrastructure Vulnerability
A major internet outage caused by a "hiccup" at the Fastly Content Delivery Network (CDN) took down high-traffic sites including CNN, HBO Max, and Spotify. CNN's Brian Stelter described the event as a reminder of the internet's vulnerability due to the centralization of cloud services. The hosts emphasize the importance of decentralization, noting that the No Agenda website and social platforms remained online because they do not rely on major CDNs.
