Washington: Twitter is experiencing a massive outrage as "tens and thousands of users" complained of being unable to use the platform. Complaints were registered as whenever the user tried to post a message, it showed, "Oops, something went wrong!" It was also reported that the 'notifications' and 'mentions' feeds were also unavailable.
"We are currently investigating this issue. More updates to come," the company said in a statement as quoted by Sputnik on Thursday.

The Downdector.com monitoring site showed that over 50,000 complaints were made between around 5:15 p.m. EST (9:15 p.m. GMT) and 6:30 p.m.
Earlier in July this year, a number of high profile Twitter accounts including that of US presidential hopeful Joe Biden, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Microsoft Co-founder Bill Gates and of Apple were simultaneously hacked by attackers to carry out what appeared to be a cryptocurrency scam.
