X down for thousands amid Cloudfare outage
  • On Tuesday morning, the social platform X faced outages affecting thousands of users, attributed to problems with Cloudfare, a web infrastructure provider. Downdetector reported over 10,000 users experiencing issues starting at approximately 6:30 a.m. EST, with the platform displaying an 'internal service error' by 8:30 a.m. This incident illustrates the vulnerabilities that major online services face when dependent on external infrastructure.
  • The outage raises concerns about the reliability of Cloudfare and its impact on X's user experience. As users increasingly rely on social media for communication and information, such disruptions can lead to frustration and loss of trust in the platform. This incident may prompt X to reassess its infrastructure partnerships to ensure better service continuity in the future.
