What’s Going On with X? Understanding Recent Outages
If you’ve tried to log into social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) recently, you might have noticed something was off. On Monday, thousands of users in the United States and Britain reported issues accessing the site. According to Downdetector, a website that tracks such outages, there were over 23,210 reports by 8:24 AM ET. That’s quite a few people unable to scroll through their feeds!
Interestingly, reports trickled in from far and wide, with a peak of 254 issues logged in Pakistan at around 6:47 PM. So what’s causing all this chaos? Global internet observatory NetBlocks chimed in, stating that these outages appear to be international in scope and not linked to any specific country’s internet disruptions or filtering.
X has yet to comment on what might be behind the interruptions. It’s essential to keep in mind that the numbers provided by Downdetector reflect user-submitted reports, meaning the real impact could be much larger.
If you’re finding it tough to connect with friends or catch up on the latest trends, you’re not alone. Outages can be frustrating, especially in our digital age where social media is often a lifeline for communication and news. While we wait for X to get back on track, consider this a moment to unplug. You might rediscover hobbies or meaningful conversations without notifications vying for your attention.
