Twitter said on Tuesday that their website and its dashboard management platform TweetDeck was hit with an outage, with thousands of global users left in the dark, the company said it in a tweet.

Users were getting access to old twitter interface, but they were facing difficulty seeing direct messages and also trouble to add things like images, videos, and polls in their tweets.
The platform Tweetdeck, also allows users to schedule tweets, perform targeted searches and follow particular lists of accounts, suffered problems in regard to accessing it.
The issues extended to the standard Twitter platform, with tech website Down Detector reporting crashes mainly concentrated in London and the North West. Twitter has acknowledged the problem and says experts are “working on a fix”.
Earlier Twitter announced that they have decided to take one step ahead for eliminating content related to the abuse and harassment on their platform. Twitter will be taking action on unwanted content posted in a tweet or sent to a person in a private message.
