Twitter experienced a bevy of glitches Monday as links stopped working, some users were unable to log in and images were not loading for others. The company, which has experienced an uptick instability and bugs in recent months after Elon Musk cut its staff sharply, said "Some parts of Twitter may not be working as expected right now. We made an internal change that had some unintended consequences. We`re working on this now and will share an update when it`s fixed."
Trying to visit Twitter`s help page Monday led to an error message that says "Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint" and displays a link to a software developer page that also doesn`t work. According to Downdetector, users began reporting the outages shortly before noon U.S. Eastern time. Internet access watchdog NetBlocks said "Twitter is currently experiencing international slowdowns and outages affecting many users," and noted that it was also affecting image and video content. Some users were not able to see the images that other users were posting.
