This is the first main Twitter outage since a series of crises for the social network in February. Twitter was down twice in a week in February, with users unable to access the service in parts of the US due to a technical bug that was preventing timelines from loading and Tweets from posting. These latest Twitter service issues come just days after the social network filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, the world’s richest man. Musk is trying to exit a $44 billion acquisition deal based on claims Twitter has failed to satisfy requests for information on the bot and spam activity on the platform.
The outage extended to mobile, iOS, and Android, also affecting services like TweetDeck. While Twitter’s status page indicated that the site was fully operational, numerous users across the globe still experienced outages. Though Twitter’s app and website were able to load, the platform wouldn’t load any new tweets or notifications.
