Social media users have complained about the impact of Facebook’s service on X; however, no statement has been made by Meta so far.
X services down globally, including Pakistan
Earlier, users were facing difficulties using X, formerly known as Twitter, since Monday afternoon globally, including Pakistan.
According to the internet tracking monitor Downdetector, more than 9,800 reports of issues with the social media platform have been made since 9 AM Eastern Time, Reuters reported.
X was also down for over 1,300 users in Canada, as of 10:16 a.m. ET, and for over 1,400 users in the UK, as of 10:18 a.m. ET. SpaceX, which owns X, did not immediately respond to Reuters‘ request for comment on what caused the outage.
The complaints of issues quickly surged to nearly 30,000 after only a small number of complaints had been recorded earlier in the morning.
Users quickly flocked to Downdetector’s comment section, turning the outage page into a makeshift chat room while waiting for service to return. The outages have been reported by thousands of users across several countries, including the US, UK, India, and Pakistan.
NetBlocks, which also monitors outages, also confirmed that social media network X is “experiencing international outages for a second consecutive day” amid timeline backend API errors.
“Incident not related to country-level internet disruptions or filtering,” it added.
