Twitter's been hit with a widespread outage, with thousands of U.S. users reporting issues with the social media site on Saturday. It's not the first time Twitter has suffered technical difficulties in recent months. This weekend marks the latest widespread outage since Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk acquired Twitter in 2022.
Over 7,000 people reported problems accessing Twitter to Downdetector, a website that tracks whether popular websites are down, on Saturday. Users trying to access or post content on Twitter's website or mobile app say they've been met with a "rate limit exceeded" or "cannot retrieve tweets" error message. The errors seem to crop up most frequently when trying to access the "For You" page, Twitter's feed of curated content.
