From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Netflix users have complained they were unable to access the popular video streaming site.
When some users visited Netflix, they were greeted with the message: "We were unable to process your request. Please go to the Netflix home page by clicking the button below" instead of the usual list of recommended videos.
Underneath that message was a button directing users to the homepage.
Netflix users, likely worried they will no longer be able to binge-watch their favourite TV programmes, have taken to Twitter to complain.
Downdetector.co.uk, a website which monitors if popular websites are working, said that 643 people reported a Netflix outage at around 7pm (BST). However, the website appears to be running again as reports have returned to a normal level.
Netflix has not yet confirmed whether the site was down for some people. The Independent has contacted Netlfix, and is awaiting a resposne.
