Twitter is down!! Authentication isn't working!

While Twitter is down you might enjoy reading Dan Luu's blog post of major cache incidents at Twitter: https://danluu.com/cache-incidents/

I just finished crafting my wonderfully opinionated three-part tweet. Trying to click "Post" failed until I gave up and closed the tab. I'll infer the Twitter gods did not support my opinion and I'll keep it to myself instead.

You have to write it again though!

Interestingly, Nitter instances are functioning.

(Read-only, but ... Feature!!!)

Whew!

I was reporting tweets that violate their safety policies right before the auth failures started happening. I thought Twitter suspended me in retribution for bringing their attention to violations.

Yes I also thought this, but being a dev my first choice was to check console and find the error and also the network tab

I'm not allowed to look at code on Fridays.

Ohhh is it,

AWS has an identical spike.

Confirmed. The timeline still updates with new tweets so some people are still able to Tweet, but all my four accounts have issues.

The app seems to be working, but the website seems to be having problems and just errors out.

Yes

Refused to load the font 'data:font/truetype;charset=utf-8;base64, d09GRgABAAAAAMjjABIAAAAB2mAAAAAAAADH7AAAAPcAAAHiAAAAAAAAAABHUE9TAACdfAAAIjcAAH80VqR1REdTVUIAAL+0AAAINwAAFD6g7KTPTFRTSAAABwQAAABHAAACQYV/Ri1PUy8yAAACDAAAAFQAAABgZ050kmNtYXAAAB1cAAAChQAAA/wdE0d/Y3Z0IAAAIdQAAAA0AAAANAq+BC1mcGdtAAAf5AAAAQUAAAFzBpmcN2dhc3AAAJ1wAAAADAAAAAwABwAHZ2x5ZgAAJnAAAGxKAADg/GpVnLBoZG14AAAHTAAAFhAAADPIAPyiAmhlYWQAAAGUAAAANQAAADYF/aZQaGhlYQAAAcwAAAAgAAAAJAdxBTBobXR4AAACYAAABKIAAAj0wQRTzWxvY2EAACIIAAAEZwAABHxHMIAQbWF4cAAAAewAAAAgAAAAIARXAs1uYW1lAACSvA...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' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "font-src 'self' https://*.twimg.com".

Looks like some intern put this font not allowed from domain of twitter

Load something on the app that isn't cached, its not working either.

Yeah it isnt working

Tweetdeck is working for me:

https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/

Yep, entirely down for me in the UK on the iOS app.

Good riddance. ;)

In Singapore both the app and web is down

Twitter's Fail Whale

Down in Spain too.

Its down everywhere!

Internet Snow Day!

Twitter Up again

Yeah its down

Yes its because of some font which is not allowed from the twitter domain

I doubt that as the app is down too.

I think so as the authentication is the main problem.
