Another multi-platform outage strikes, as Cloudflare suffers issues and triggers downtime on popular websites like X (formerly Twitter), as confirmed by the official Cloudflare Status page.

It started around 6:00 AM ET, when Cloudflare's support portal provider started "experiencing issues", and saw the degradation of Elon Musk's social platform, alongside popular video games like League of Legends reporting issues via downdetector.

Cloudflare is experiencing an outage, causing downtime on several popular websites and services, including X (formerly Twitter) and OpenAI. The lack of comments suggests a lack of discussion or debate around the issue.
