X (Formerly Twitter) Global Outage Sparks Frustration and Raises Concerns


 In a surprising turn of events, the widely-used social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, faced a global outage early on Thursday, leaving millions of users in the dark. The disruption led to a flurry of reports on Downdetector, with users encountering issues ranging from inability to view posts to loading problems on X Pro (formerly TweetDeck).

Over 77,000 users in the US experienced access troubles with both X and X Pro, prompting them to turn to alternative platforms like Facebook, Threads, Reddit, and Meta’s Threads to share updates about the situation. The outage even reached Pakistan, where nearly 1,000 reports surfaced before access was restored later in the day.

Despite the widespread impact, there has been no official statement from X regarding the cause of the outage, leaving users and experts alike curious about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

This outage comes at a challenging time for X, which is grappling with various challenges, including an ongoing EU probe targeting disinformation and hate, criticism for its response to recent events in Dublin, and a significant loss in market value. Internal documents indicate that Elon Musk’s company is currently worth less than half of the $44 billion he paid for it in October 2022, following a series of layoffs, including engineers responsible for handling service outages.

This isn’t the first time X has faced a major outage; a similar incident occurred in February, affecting thousands of users who reported issues such as being unable to post messages, hitting daily post limits, and struggling with direct messages.

As users eagerly await more information from X about the recent disruption, the incident underscores the growing challenges faced by the platform in maintaining stability and addressing user concerns.
