JAKARTA - Twitter announced its service is back online following a massive blackout that occurred on Thursday, July 14 that left thousands of users worldwide unable to access the social media platform.
According to outage tracking website Downdetector.com, the nearly three-hour outage affected as many as 50.000 users at its peak around 8:15 a.m. ET (7:15 p.m. EST),
The incident comes days after Twitter sued Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk for violating his deal to buy the company and asked a Delaware court to order the world's richest man to complete the Twitter acquisition.
"We have had some issues with our internal systems impacting many of you globally. Twitter should be up and running as expected," the social media company said in a tweet.
Twitter is hosted on Amazon Web Services and also uses Google Cloud as its secondary vendor, according to Wells Fargo Securities analyst Brian Fitzgerald. Analysts ruled out a problem at the cloud vendor as the reason for the disruption.

Twitter experienced another widespread outage in February that was caused by a software glitch.
Other major tech companies have also experienced outages in the past year, with nearly six hours of disruption on the Meta Platform that left WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger unreachable for billions of users in October.
Best known for blackouts in its early years, Twitter is known for using the popular illustration "Failed Whale", which shows a beluga whale being lifted by a bird, during such incidents. Twitter shares were down about 1% at $36.42 last Thursday.
