Social network Twitter is experiencing a global outage at the moment, with most users unable to refresh or in some cases even load their timeline feeds. Neither the Twitter website nor the Twitter iPhone app works properly.
Sending a tweet works in the app, but in many cases only the author can see their tweet since timeouts are out of order. Twitter search is also non-functional. There are thousands of reports of the outage on the Down Detector website.
The cause of the outage is unclear, but Twitter carried out its fourth round of layoffs over the weekend, cutting 10% of its remaining workforce. The layoffs reportedly affected several departments, including advertising and infrastructure engineering, leaving the company with fewer than 2,000 employees. It had about 7,500 when Elon Musk took over.
Update: Although the Following feed is still down, some users are reporting that they can now see the For You feed, which algorithmically aggregates recommended tweets from accounts that aren’t being followed.
