Thousands of Twitter users were out of service around the
world on Tuesday, according to a website that tracks outages.
Twitter said on Tuesday that it had fixed issues that caused
disruptions to its services after thousands of users reported difficulties
accessing the micro-blogging platform.
Twitter said in a
tweet, "We fixed the problem. We made a change to the internal systems,
but things did not go as planned and we retracted them, and Twitter can now be
accessed as expected."
Down detector website, which tracks internet outages by
collecting reports from a number of sources, said there were more than 32,000
cases of people reporting problems with the social media platform's services.
"We are
currently studying the situation, and we will get back to you with a response
as soon as possible," Twitter said earlier on Tuesday in an emailed
comment.
The social media platform, which is locked in a legal
dispute with Tesla CEO Elon Mask over a $44 billion takeover deal, suffered a
nearly three-hour outage in July, when the company said its internal systems
ran into some problems that affected many of its users around the world.
