The company has not revealed the reason behind the outage, however, it is expected that the company could be facing technical issues with its servers.

There are still a number of users complaining on the outage detection website that they still cannot tweet, however, the number of reports have massively subsided with only around 500 reports being lodged between the time intervals.

To recall, back in October, the company faced a similar outage that lasted for over two hours. At that time the company revealed that the outage was caused due to inadvertent changes made to its systems, which were then reverted by the team.
