Thousands report problems as X goes down with newsfeeds not loading

People are just getting an error message when trying to scroll their newsfeed on X.

Around 2,000 users had reported problems on DownDetector this afternoon, saying they were struggling to access both the app and the website.

When we tried to access the site, we saw only this: ‘Something went wrong. Try reloading.’

This was followed by a button saying ‘retry’.
