Microblogging platform Twitter went down on Monday evening after it reportedly suffered a technical glitch with users complaining of having encountered broken links.
According to DownDetector, there were over 8,000 complaints with Twitter from users in the United States and other countries as several individuals said images were not loading on Twitter web and the app showing users.
Others complained of being unable to access the tweets of other users, with a message reading,“Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint, please see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api for more information”.
More than 5,000 complaints were reported with the social media platform, according to Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources including user-submitted errors on its platform.
Soon, Twitter was flooded with memes by netizens who were mocking its owner Elon Musk for the snag.
“Links don’t work on Twitter right now which is so strange because Elon Musk had that meeting about being super good at doing computer code and he had all kinds of arrows and flowcharts on white boards and everything”, a user tweeted.
“Did Elon just break all links on Twitter…”, another user asked.
“twitter’s own website is rejecting native api calls. things are going great under elon”, posted another user.
