I like how their headline starts with Snapchat and Roblox being affected.

Actually I am keen to know how Roblox got impacted. Following the terrible Halloween Outage in 2021, they posted 2 years ago about migrating to a cell based architecture in https://corp.roblox.com/newsroom/2023/12/making-robloxs-infr...

Perhaps some parts of the migration haven't been completed, or there is still a central database in us-east1

The journalist found out about it from their tween.

They're the only apps English people are allowed to use, the rest of the internet is banned by Ofcom. /s
