JUST IN: Users turn to Facebook, Instagram as Twitter experiences global outage
Following a global outage of Twitter website and app on Friday evening, there are reports that the majority of its 290 million users are redirecting their attention to other social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp.
Although technology outages are not uncommon, outage tracking website Downdetector.com revealed that efforts are currently on to resolve the glitch.

In 2019, Twitter’s audience counted approximately 290.5 million monthly active users worldwide, and was projected to keep increasing up to over 340 million users by 2024.

As of the time of filing this report, Twitter has yet to respond to a request for comment.
