Its thousands of users Twitter reported access problems before the company owned by Elon Musk claims to have fixed the latest in a series of glitches.
Twitter introduced earlier on Monday (06.03.2023) online links from the social networking platform and other websites. Elon Musk tweeted that a small change in the platform’s data access tool had caused the problem.
Links sent by users to other pages and content on the Internet were down today for between half an hour and nearly an hour on the social network that has been experiencing outages for weeks.
Half an hour later, the links were working again and reports of problems on the specialist website Downdetector began to decrease after passing 8,000.
Twitter’s technical support account wrote on the social networking site that the issue has been resolved and that “things are expected to be back to normal.”
Twitter Inc’s support team had earlier said that “certain parts of Twitter may not be working as expected at this time. We made an internal change that had some unintended consequences. We are working on this now and will provide an update when this is fixed.”
Internet watchdog NetBlocks said the flaw also affected image and video content, making it Twitter’s sixth major outage of 2023, compared with three in the same period last year.
