Twitter has gone down for some users in the UK, with reports of both the website and mobile app not working for many. The outage is reportedly affecting thousands of users.
According to the service status website Down Detector, the issue began around 1pm on Monday in the UK, with more than 4,500 reports of problems logged with the website. The social media giant has yet to comment on the issue or confirm any cause for the reported problems.
The firm’s own service status platform also showed no reported issues affecting the site on Monday afternoon.
It has been a busy day for social media as people have been keen to share their views on the Oscar incident in which Hollywood actor Will Smith hit Hollywood comedian Chris Rock. The incident has divided people with some saying Rock's joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair was out of order, while others said the physical violence can not be justified.
Ellie tweeted: "Did Twitter just slow down because Chris Rock got clocked while presenting?" While Black Anarchy tweeted: "Even twitter felt that slap from Will."
More when we get it.
