Jan 22 (Reuters) – Social media platform X was back up after a brief outage for thousands of users globally on Thursday, according to Downdetector.com.
At its peak, there were more than 20,200 reports of issues with X in the U.S., per Downdetector, before coming down to about 600 reports as of 12:27 p.m. ET.
Reports in the UK peaked at over 7,000 at 12:13 p.m. ET, according to the website, which tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources.
X did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on what caused the outage.
The actual number of affected users may differ from what’s shown on Downdetector because these reports are user-submitted.
