Twitter down for thousands of users, many unable to sign in

Microblogging platform Twitter was down for thousands of users on Thursday, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com.

Over 10,000 users reported issues with accessing the social media website in the United States as of 7:40 pm ET, according to a Reuters report.

However, less than an hour later, the number of reported issues was down to just over 3,700.


Some users also complained that their Twitter notifications were not working, while others got an error and the tweets were not showing up in their feed.

"Twitter is experiencing international outages affecting the mobile app and features including notifications; incident not related to country-level internet disruptions or filtering," Netblocks said in a tweet.

Under Elon Musk's leadership, Twitter has been riven by chaos, with mass layoffs, the return of banned accounts and the suspension of journalists critical of the South African-born billionaire.

A Twitter user named Greg tweeted, "Can anyone see this or is Twitter broken".

In response to the tweet, Musk replied: "Works for me."


Users took to Twitter to share that they are unable to login.
