The issue is just about fixed. You should be able to access Twitter as usual. If not, give it a few more minutes! Thanks for waiting.

A Twitter spokesperson told The Hill that the outage was “due to problems with our internal systems communicating with each other.”

More than 4,000 reports of the platform being down were recorded by outage monitoring website Outage.report, including from Japan, Canada and India, according to the newswire.
