Social media platforms X and X Pro suffered outages globally early on Thursday, according to Downdetector.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n Users on X, formerly known as Twitter, were unable to view posts on the social media site with a message that said \u201cWelcome to X!\u201d. Reports of the platform\u2019s troubles began spiking just before 0600 GMT on monitoring site Downdetector.<\/p>\n Users encountered loading issues on X Pro, formerly TweetDeck, with a message that said \u201cWaiting for posts\u201d.<\/p>\n Over 47,000 US users faced access issues with X and X Pro, according to Downdetector data. With no way to post on X, social media users published updates about the outage on rivals including Facebook, Threads, and Reddit.<\/p>\n Downdetector tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources including users.<\/p>\n In Pakistan, nearly 1,000 reports of outages were reported at 10:30am. Access to X was later restored for users in Pakistan a little after 12pm.<\/p>\n There has been no immediate comment from X, nor any indication of what caused the outage.<\/p>\n X is currently facing multiple headwinds, including an EU probe under a law designed to combat disinformation and hate, criticism of the platform\u2019s response to recent rioting in Dublin, and an exodus of big-name advertisers.<\/p>\n Musk\u2019s company is now worth less than half of the $44 billion he paid for it in October 2022, according to internal documents sent to staff and reported by tech publication The Verge.<\/p>\n A major outage on X was also reported by Downdetector in February, affecting thousands of users. User complaints shared online included being unable to post messages, being told they had exceeded a daily limit of posts, and the inability to send direct messages.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Social media platforms X and X Pro suffered outages globally early on Thursday, according to Downdetector.com.
