X is down once again worldwide.
Technology Desk, New Delhi. Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is down once again. This is the second time this platform has been disrupted in the last few days, causing problems to thousands of users. According to Downdetector, a website that tracks real-time service disruptions, the problems began at 8:26 pm. So far, more than 5,000 users have reported issues on the platform. Users from UK, US, big cities of India like Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata have given information about the problems being faced on the platform. Visitors are seeing a blank screen.
Users affected on app and website
Downdetector data shows that users are facing problems with many services.
Concerns increased due to repeated interruptions
This latest outage comes just a few days after the previous outage, which has increased concerns among users about the stability of the platform. X has not yet released any official statement regarding the cause of the outage or when services will be fully restored. X last faced a minor outage on January 13, when users faced problems accessing the mobile app, website and server connections. However, these problems were fixed within 15 minutes.
Apart from this, let us tell you that X has implemented new technical measures to prevent its AI chatbot, Grok, from creating photos of real people in objectionable clothes in places where such content is illegal. The move comes after a massive outcry over the spread of obscene deepfakes created using Grok.
In a post shared on its official safety handle, X said that these restrictions apply to all users, including paid subscribers. The platform also announced that image creation and image-editing features through a Grok account on X are now available exclusively to paid subscribers.
