Twitter said on Thursday its social networking site was down for many users due to an inadvertent change it had made to its internal systems but the platform seemed to be returning to normal after about an hour and half of outage.
The company said that the site should be working for everyone within the next few hours and that it did not have any evidence of a security breach or a hack.
