The music streaming service Spotify was down temporarily on Sunday, leaving thousands of listeners without access to tunes and podcasts.

More than 40,000 people reported outages with the music platform on downdetector.com, a website that allows users to report problems with popular apps and services.

Spotify wrote on X Sunday afternoon, “We’re aware of some issues right now and are checking them out!”

Responding to the post, Spotify users complained about the outage disrupting workout routines and plans to stream a playlist at a child’s birthday party.

About an hour later, the streaming service posted that everything was looking much better. The app appeared to be working normally.

Cheech and Chong sue California

Actors Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, a comedy duo who also run a cannabis company, sued a California public health agency over new rules that would ban certain hemp products.

“This draconian regulation alone will essentially devastate an emerging industry that consists largely of small business owners. It’s akin to requiring candy to stop containing sugar,” the lawsuit against the California Department of Public Health states.

The lawsuit, filed this week in Los Angeles County Superior Court, highlights the battle between cannabis businesses and California regulators that are attempting to regulate the hemp industry amid concerns that certain products could harm the health of young people.

The regulations, which took effect this week, ban the sale of hemp food, beverage and dietary products containing detectable amounts of THC, a compound found in the cannabis plant that affects how the brain works. The new rules also state that people must be at least 21 years old to purchase hemp products and limit the number of servings of hemp products to five per package.
