Twitter users reported broad problems accessing the service Thursday afternoon across the U.S. and parts of Europe.
A notice posted on Twitter’s status page at 5:56 p.m. ET said the company was “Investigating Irregularity with Twitter APIs.”
According to DownDetector.com, reports of problems with Twitter began to spike just after 5:30 p.m. ET, and soared to over 45,000 by 5:42 p.m. Users of the social service reported the inability to post tweets, access their timelines, or see notifications. On desktop and mobile apps, Twitter was sending error messages that said, “Something went wrong.”

This is intentional.
They are trying to distract from their efforts to cover up for thhe Biden Crime Family.

They likely know the news would be huge on their network, and needed to throttle it's spread which would help it "trend".
If Trump left Twitter, would they still be a viable company?
And if you're user engagement is what helps you sell advertising, or whatever, aren't you hurting investors by limiting the use of information and user engagement?
Wouldn't that be contrary to running the company?
How is there not class-action lawsuits against Twitter and FB for limiting shareholder values?

Twitters being flooded with Second hand links to the New York post story. Add to that trending on#CrookedJoeBiden so I suppose this is not a big surprise. For whatever the cause all it’s inconveniencing are the Dems and other Karens who actually use Twitter.

Switch to Parler! Twitter censored a video from the Vice Chairman of Internal Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, Peter McCullough MD, about the efficacy of Hydroxychloriquine in treating ambulatory patients with COVID. He implored doctors to treat patients instead of offering zero treatment- which is the standard of care now for patients at home - to prevent hospitalization. It was a peer- reviewed study. Twitter banned it and YouTube took it down. Why? I am done with Twitter.

While I enjoy the schadenfreude of OP's Karma remark - I gotta go w/#2. Nobody cancels Twitter. Twitter cancels Twitter.

I rather expect them to take down the entire internet for a week or two before the election, since Trump used the internet so effectively the last time out. Also, most of the country would then have only the MSM networks for news, and, of course, they will cover up any coup until it's a done deal and the Marxists are sitting atop the dung heap in Washington.
