  • X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
  • This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
  • The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

Elon must be experiencing withdrawal symptoms right about now.

Interesting. Looking into this.

Is tempting to check if it's still down. But wom't touch this ugly domain.

Someone should do a massive DDOS.

Don't give Musk a reason to ~~tell his orange bitch to sign an order making~~ lobby for the government to regulate and control internet traffic.

Using devices inside the country to DoS Twitter will give them an excuse to cry domestic cyber terrorism, and using devices from outside the country will give them an opportunity to justify creating an American equivalent of China's Great Firewall. The time it would keep Twitter down for is comparatively insignificant to the potential consequences of losing online freedom and anonymity.
