Twitter users around the world were unable to use their accounts due to a failure on the social networking site.
The cause of the malfunction is still not clear, and no explanation has been received from the company so far.
This is the first major Twitter outage since a series of problems for the social network in February. Twitter was down twice in a week in February, with users unable to access the service in parts of the US due to a “technical bug that was preventing timelines from loading and Tweets from posting.”
