Fact Check
The evidence strongly supports the statement. Multiple sources confirm a recent, significant AWS outage (Sources 4, 9). Evidence also highlights the resilience of decentralized networks, stating the Bitcoin network is nearly impossible to take down by such outages (Source 1). This resilience was demonstrated by the XRP Ledger, another decentralized platform, which continued to operate normally during the outage (Source 4, 7). There is no contradictory evidence provided.
