Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Tens of thousands of global users of X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday reported problems using the Elon Musk-owned social network.<\/b><\/p>\n

Reports of the platform’s troubles began spiking just before 0600 GMT on monitoring site Downdetector.<\/p>\n

“User reports indicate problems at X (Twitter),” the site said.<\/p>\n

Timelines on the platform were emptied and no new posts visible, although the twitter.com site was available.<\/p>\n

With no way to post on X, social media users published updates about the outage on rivals including Facebook, Threads, and Reddit.<\/p>\n

The platform resumed service for users in multiple countries shortly after 0640 GMT.<\/p>\n

At the outage’s peak, Downdetector indicated that about 67,000 US users reported problems.<\/p>\n

The outage also affected X Pro, formerly known as TweetDeck.<\/p>\n

There has been no immediate comment from X, nor any indication of what caused the outage.<\/p>\n

X is currently facing multiple headwinds, including an EU probe under a law designed to combat disinformation and hate, criticism of the platform’s response to recent rioting in Dublin, and an exodus of big-name advertisers.<\/p>\n

Musk’s company is now worth less than half of the $44 billion he paid for it in October 2022, according to internal documents sent to staff and reported by tech publication The Verge.<\/p>\n

A major outage on X was also reported by Downdetector in February, affecting thousands of users.<\/p>\n

User complaints shared online included being unable to post messages, being told they had exceeded a daily limit of posts, and the inability to send direct messages.<\/p>\n
