In a recent turn of events, the popular social media platform Twitter, also known as X, is grappling with a widespread technical issue affecting users worldwide. The problem, particularly pronounced in Bharat, has led to a halt in the refreshing of Twitter timelines on both web and mobile versions. Users can log in but are encountering an eerie emptiness on their tabs, with the Following, For You, and Lists sections all devoid of tweets.
Despite the platform’s accessibility, users are experiencing a unique situation where they can create and post tweets, but these posts are invisible to everyone. The issue has spurred the hashtag #TwitterDown to trend on the website, indicating a global impact on tweet visibility. The duration of this outage remains uncertain, leaving users in suspense about when normalcy will be restored.
This isn’t the first time Twitter, under the ownership of Elon Musk, has faced technical hurdles. On December 14, a glitch caused all outgoing links to cease functioning. Users attempting to access external links were redirected to a basic error page, accompanied by a humorous message acknowledging the issue. The platform has witnessed disruptions earlier this year in March and July, with users encountering error messages ranging from rate limiting to complete outages.
In March, a significant outage left the platform inaccessible for hours, affecting the regular usage of numerous users. Problems included difficulties accessing links, images, and videos, with some regions reporting slower website performance. The recent recurrence of technical issues raises concerns about the platform’s stability and prompts users to wonder when these challenges will be fully addressed by the Twitter team.
