X experiences widespread broken link issues
X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, was experiencing widespread issues on Wednesday, with hyperlinks not opening properly.
Users who clicked on links to news articles and other websites Wednesday afternoon were redirected to an error page saying, "this page is down."
Media such as photos and videos appeared to be functioning normally on the platform.
Users quickly noticed, attaching screenshots of the error message to posts complaining about the apparent technical problems.
A representative for X did not immediately return a request for comment.
X has experienced a number of technical glitches and undergone other major changes since billionaire Elon Musk bought the platform and revamped its operating procedures and content moderation policies.
Last month, several major companies pulled advertising from the platform, citing Musk's rhetoric on and management of the social media giant.
