On the morning of June 22, local time, social media platform X (formerly Twitter) suffered another major service outage. According to data from network failure monitoring website Downdetector, over 15,000 users reported being unable to access the platform normally before 10 a.m. Eastern Time. The peak of the failure began around 9:30 a.m., with the impact mainly concentrated on the U.S. East Coast, including New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C., while a significant number of users in Chicago, Dallas, and Atlanta also reported issues.
This outage is not an isolated event. Just a day earlier (June 21), X experienced brief instability, with Downdetector recording approximately 2,600 users reporting access anomalies around noon Eastern Time. As of this writing, X has largely restored access, but the company has not yet issued an official statement regarding the cause of the outage. Notably, data from another monitoring source indicated that the number of users reporting issues at the same time once exceeded 22,000, suggesting the actual number of affected users may be even higher.
