Access to the social network Twitter was disrupted overnight from Wednesday to Thursday for many users who were unable to log into their own account or unable to access certain accounts.
The Downdetector site has identified as many as 10,000 reports of Internet users struggling to use Twitter, with a peak around 1:35 a.m., before the reports died down.

The extent of the outage was not immediately known, but AFP journalists in the United States and Asia reported having difficulty accessing their accounts.
This technical problem comes at a delicate time for Twitter, which has been in turmoil since its acquisition by Elon Musk for $44 billion at the end of October. In particular, the multi-entrepreneur laid off many employees, including among the teams that deal with the technical maintenance of the platform.
Asked by a user Wednesday if Twitter was “broken,” Elon Musk replied: “It works for me.”
