Twitter was plagued Monday with its latest substantial glitch, as users broadly reported problems loading images and sharing external links in the latest technical headache for owner Elon Musk and an increasingly thin company staff.

Клучни факти

Users started reporting problems around 11:40 a.m. Eastern time Monday, according to Downdetector, which noted the problems persisted into the early afternoon.

The problems were numerous and far-reaching: images were unable to post for many users, while external links were broken and companion apps like TweetDeck crashed.

Твитер поддршка Твитер just before 12:20 p.m. that the problems were a result of “an internal change that had some unintended consequences,” without specifying what the change was.

Many of the issues started resolving around 1 p.m. Eastern time, with Twitter Support tweeting at 1:05 p.m. that “Things should now be working as normal.”

“This platform is so brittle (sigh). Will be fixed shortly,” Musk Твитер Понеделник попладне како одговор на пораката во која се критикуваат корисниците кои се жалат на грешки.

Изненадувачки факт

Musk tweeted constantly throughout Monday’s glitch on a variety of culture war talking points, such as сугерирајќи he will label CNN as “State Affiliated Media” on Twitter and тврдејќи former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci “egregiously betrayed the public trust” through his warnings about Covid-19.

Главна позадина

This is the second time in less than a month that Twitter experienced major problems. Many users on February 8 were left unable to post tweets after the platform mistakenly stated they went over “the daily limit for sending tweets,” though the problems were largely resolved after an hour. Musk has significantly trimmed what he says was a bloated staff when he took over the company in the fall, cutting a workforce from around 7,500 down to fewer than 2,000. The latest коло of job cuts came late last month, when Musk reportedly laid off around 200 employees, roughly 10% of the remaining staff. CNBC reported in January the company is down to fewer than 550 full-time engineers.
