    Downdetector has thousands of reports of issues with Twitter, but Twitter’s own status page claims “all systems operational.” While the main Twitter.com domain loads, it’s not possible to log into the service or access tweets right now. Twitter started to come back to life at around 3:40PM EAT, with many able to tweet and access the service again.

    At 4:10PM EAT Twitter tweeted, “we’re working to get it back up and running for everyone,” but it appears that most people are already connecting again.

    This is the first major Twitter outage since a series of problems for the social network in February. Twitter was down twice in a week in February, with users unable to access the service in parts of the world due to a “technical bug that was preventing timelines from loading and Tweets from posting.”

    These latest Twitter service issues come just days after the social network filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, the world’s richest man. Musk is trying to exit a $44 billion acquisition deal based on claims Twitter has failed to satisfy requests for information on the bot and spam activity on the platform.

    Update July 14th, 5:10PM EAT: Article updated to note that Twitter seems to be coming back online for many.
