Twitter/X outage

"My page refuses to load anything past February 9th of this year," another user wrote at around Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m. PT — ahead of the majority of reports on Downdetector. "Is there any way to fix this? I've tried refreshing and clearing cache and nothing has worked. It's not an internet problem, either."

It’s unknown when the app and website will be fully up and running again. However, users continue to report ongoing issues across the app, website, and server connections.
