From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tweetdeck, Twitter's more advanced tool for reading and posting tweets, has stopped working.
The tool allows users to see multiple, vertically-scrolling feeds and lists at the same time.
Both its website and the app failed to load for users on Thursday morning.
Users were met with a white screen on its desktop website.
Twitter does not run a specific status page for Tweetdeck. But its API status page, which monitors outages with its systems, appeared to indicate that it was not aware of any problems.
The official Twitter and Tweetdeck support accounts had not posted about the outage at the time of publication.
According to the website Outage.report, users from the US, the UK, and the Netherlands have been affected.
It appears that the issue began at 09.00am in the UK, according to data gathered by DownDetector.
Some 64 percent of users have had issues logging in, 33 percent cannot load tweets, and two percent of users have reported an inability to post messages.
The Independent has reached out to Twitter for more information.
The last time Tweetdeck went down was in October 2019, which affected users across North America and Europe.
Recently, Twitter suffered a major breach as many high-profile users including Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Kanye West had their accounts taken over to promote a Bitcoin scam.
