Twitter has been experiencing server failures worldwide. In Spain, the failures have begun to be registered around 6:00 p.m. The network prevented clicking on the published links or seeing the desktop version correctly on the computer. This is the second time Twitter has gone down in less than a week.
“It is possible that some parts of Twitter do not work as expected at the moment. We have made an internal change that has had unforeseen consequences. We are working on it and will inform you when it is solved,” the social network itself reported through a tweet. .
An hour after it began to give problems, the social network has considered the bugs resolved. “Things should be working normally. Thanks for staying with us!” The social network wrote 50 minutes after it admitted in another tweet that “some parts of Twitter are not working as expected at the moment.”
The company, which thus suffers its second global fall in less than a week, did not give many details about the reasons, except that they had undertaken “some changes internally with unforeseen consequences.”
According to the DownDetector website, which monitors in real time the incidents that are registered in the main technology companies, the first problems have begun to be registered around 5:53 p.m. in Spain and have affected users around the world.
Users of the platform had reported failures when accessing the desktop version through the computer, clicking on links published on the network or tweeting images. Likewise, in some cases, messages posted by other users years ago have jumped to the “feed” of some accounts as if they were new.
Last Wednesday, March 1, the social network, owned by Elon Musk, already suffered failures that prevented some profiles from seeing the new messages sent by their followers or updating the home page.
The network has not offered explanations about what is happening or if it may be related to the departure -in most cases due to layoffs, but also voluntary- of numerous network engineers, some of them in charge of network security tasks. and continuity of service.
According to the New York Times, the latest round of layoffs involved the departure of 10% of the 2,000 people that made up the workforce. When Elon Musk bought the company, the social network had a total of 7,500 workers. Shortly after the purchase, the cuts began until they were left with a quarter of the initial staff.
