Social network X regains normalcy after suffering its second outage this week

Madrid.- The social network X, formerly Twitter, has returned to normal around 5:00 p.m. (4:00 p.m. GMT) this Friday after suffering its second outage of the week an hour earlier in various countries, including the United States, Spain, and Colombia, for reasons still unknown. Social media users have reported to the Downdetector page problems with the service in both the mobile application and its web version, according to reports sent to the site, which registers more than 4,000 reports in Spain around 4:20 p.m.

Thousands of users report issues

Upon accessing the social network and attempting to reload the page, X assures that “posts are not loading at the moment” and asks to try again, although it doesn’t work.

More than 50,000 US users had reported problems to the Downdetector page, while about 600 Colombians had detected the same problems. This issue has also been detected in Grok, the generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI, where Spanish, American, and various Latin American users report that it has stopped working normally.

This is the second outage in less than a week, as this Tuesday the social network was also down for about an hour globally.

According to Variety, the problems originated at Cloudflare, a cybersecurity services provider.
