This afternoon hundreds of Internet users around the world saw how the social network X (before Twitter) experienced significant disruptions to its most widely used social media platforms globally.
Twitter’s outages affected thousands of users in virtually every region where the social network is available, preventing access to the platform, the posting of tweets and regular interaction with other users.
This failure lasted for about 15 to 20 minutes, where the information could not be updated or practically anything could be done in this app.
Twitter crashed here for 4 minutes, I almost killed myself, I didn’t like it, are we going to avoid taking it down?

These problems were resolved minutes later; however, when this happened, all users turned to Facebook and Instagram to continue their social life on social networks.
The reasons for X’s global downfall have not yet been specified.
