Tens of thousands of users of Google services reported outages on the benchmark site DownDetector.com on Monday night, particularly in relation to the search engine but also to Maps, its mapping application.
In the United States, more than 40,000 people reported to DownDetector that Google was not working for them at 9:20 p.m., especially in major cities such as New York and Denver, Colorado.
This figure dropped significantly in the following two hours, but reports continued to come in, in smaller numbers, for Google Cloud (remote computing) and Google Calendar, in particular.
Google did not immediately respond to a request from AFP.
On Twitter, some users of the dominant search engine posted screenshots of error messages, mentioning a problem with the server.
