Google has recently apologized for the shutdown of a great number of its platforms some hours ago before this article was written, a date corresponding to **Tuesday 9 August 2022**.  After Facebook is our pride, the peak of the peak.

Users around the world are reporting outages on Google’s search engine, according to DownDetector.com.

In the U.S., over 40,000 people reported Google was down for them around 9.20 p.m. ET, though the figure has since fallen.

People in the United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore also reported issues with Google, which is owned by Alphabet.
From the [Down detector](https://downdetector.com/status/google/?_gl=1*1lyan3r*_ga*MTIxNjQ3NTU4NS4xNjYwMDA5MjI1*_ga_0PZM58H213*MTY2MDAwOTIyNC4xLjEuMTY2MDAwOTU4Ni4w) some stats on this event was brought out. Who could ever imagine that, upon all platforms [Google](https://google.com) is the one.

Several tweets of this have been recorded, below some randomly taken ones can be seen. Some ones hilarious than others.

## Conclusion
Google remains one of the most prominent tech giant and best search engine ever. As far as I'm concern, I give them another chance, not sure they will deceive us again.
