BENGALURU:
An outage in X eased Tuesday after thousands of users around the world reported problems accessing the social media platform, according to Downdetector.com.
The outage began around 9 a.m. ET, peaking at more than 28,300 recorded issues with Elon Musk’s platform in the United States before calming down to around 700 reports, according to Downdetector.
In the United Kingdom, the number of reports fell to around 130 from a high of more than 8,000, while Canada saw problems decline after surpassing 3,200 earlier in the day, according to the website that tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources.
The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the cause of the outage.
The actual number of affected users may differ from those shown on Downdetector because reports are submitted by users.
