X has stopped working in what appears to be a major outage. The site, formerly known as Twitter, refused to load in both its app and website form. Opening the website instead showed the company’s “X” logo and none of the usual posts. Unlike many other major platforms, X does not operate any kind of status page for giving updates on outages to users. Last month, the website and app also went down for thousands of users, taking nearly all day to come back.
