Twitter began experiencing an outage Thursday evening with no immediate explanation from the company as to what caused it. Members of the social media network, which boasts around 330 million active users, began reporting problems sending tweets and refreshing their timelines at around 5:30 p.m. “We know people are having trouble tweeting and using Twitter,” a company spokesperson told HuffPost. The outage comes a day after Twitter provoked the ire of Republicans by blocking a New York Post story about Joe Biden because it violated its rules on doxxing and hacked materials. Outraged GOP lawmakers are now planning to vote next week on whether to subpoena Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
