You’re not alone, X (Twitter) is down as major outage impacts service [UPDATE]

by

Many X.com users have been unable to log in for the past hour due to a significant outage that has taken the site offline.

You might be having trouble accessing X or X Pro right now. On the website, you may see an error message saying the site is unreachable. If you’re using the app, you’ll probably see an older version of your feed, and trying to refresh or interact with posts won’t work. Posting or sending messages is also currently unavailable in affected areas.

X is yet to make a statement on the outage.

X has faced significant disruptions before. Just recently, a large Cloudflare outage affected many websites – including Uber and X – preventing users from accessing them.

Recently, X has faced criticism because its Grok AI could generate images of people undressed. The company was initially slow to respond, but now states that this capability has been disabled.

The new feature has received significant criticism, even prompting discussions in countries like the UK about blocking access to X (formerly Twitter) and Grok. It highlights a potential misuse of AI technology, and X is the first major platform to make this type of feature so easily available. Other popular chatbots, like ChatGPT and Copilot, generally prevent users from accessing similar functionalities.
