Twitter and Tweetdeck down: Tweets not working as website refuses to let people log in
Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Twitter has stopped working, refusing to show tweets and allow people to log in.
Both the main Twitter service as well as its Tweetdeck client have been caught in the outage, which has gone on for hours.
A vast number of users are being hit by the issues, according to tracking website Downdetector.
Problems were happening across the world, the website showed.
But some are able to log in as normal. It is not clear how the site is working for some specific users, or whether there is a fix for those affected.
Some users report that clearing the cache – either by doing so through the browser settings, or using an incognito window – could fix some of the issues, and allow people to log in.
"You might have had trouble Tweeting, getting notifications, or viewing DMs. We're currently working on a fix, and should be back to normal soon", the company said in a tweet.
Hours after the post, the website was still not working properly for a huge number of users.
