X Experiences Second Global Outage This Week Affecting Thousands Worldwide

X, formerly Twitter, experienced a major global outage on January 16, affecting thousands of users across India, the US, UK, and Europe. Users reported issues accessing timelines, posts, and the integrated AI chatbot Grok on both the app and website. Downdetector recorded over 70,000 complaints at peak times. The outage, the second in a week, was linked to server-side problems as Cloudflare could not connect to X's backend. X has not issued an official statement on the cause or restoration timeline.
