Twitter experienced a major outage on Thursday caused by an ‘inadvertent change’ made to their internal systems. The outage affected users worldwide as they were unable to use the platform for over an hour, while many also received error messages.
Reports of the issues began at around 21:30 GMT on Thursday night. The website’s service was restored later on Thursday night, with Twitter announcing that the website should be running as normal for all users. There were reported problems by users globally, including in Argentina, Australia, Japan and France, as users were unable to access the platform, with tens of thousands of users reporting problems in the United States.
