Social media network, Twitter has gone down globally with users being unable to access or refresh their accounts.
The outage, which happened on Thursday, July 14, afternoon, saw millions of users being locked out of their accounts.
According to Down Detector, most reported issues were on the Twitter App at 59 percent, its website at 33 percent and server issues at 8 percent.
The issues were reported in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Pacific region and Europe.
Verge reported that the problems affecting the social media app cut across the Twitter web, mobile, and even the company’s TweetDeck app.
Twitter’s status page claims “all systems operational" and the main Twitter.com domain loads, it’s not possible to log into the service or access tweets right now.
Users have faced issues logging back into the app after the error booted them out of the site.
In February 2022, Twitter experienced another outage and users complained of having trouble while loading tweets on profiles.
“Earlier today, we experienced a technical bug that briefly impacted how Tweets were loading for people on Twitter,” company spokesperson Shaokyi Amdo said. “This issue has since been resolved," the company confirmed.
The current outage comes amid a battle with tech billionaire and owner of Tesla, Elon Musk. Twitter took Musk to court in a bid to force him to complete his acquisition of the company.
CNN reported that Twitter's lawyers want to stop Musk from further breaches of the agreement, and to "compel consummation of the merger upon satisfaction of the few outstanding conditions."
"In April 2022, Elon Musk entered into a binding merger agreement with Twitter, promising to use his best efforts to get the deal done," the complaint states.
"Now, less than three months later, Musk refuses to honour his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests."
