Twitter is down for several users after the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday night, according to details shared by network shutdown monitoring service Netblocks and user reports on website downtime tracker Downdetector. Over two thousand users have reported they were unable to access the service on Thursday. Meanwhile, the service appears to be working normally in India, with a small spike of over 600 user reports of being unable to access Twitter. Gadgets 360 was able to access the service, and Twitter's status page does not show any issues with the service.

On Thursday, Netblocks, a group that monitors intentional downtime of online services and the Internet, stated that Twitter was experiencing international outages for many users following the news that Queen Elizabeth II had passed away. The group also stated that the downtime was not related to any country-level disruption or filtering. 

Meanwhile, according to Downdetector, a downtime tracking service for websites and apps, over 2,000 users reported they were unable to access the Twitter app and the website on Thursday.

Back in August, Twitter users were unable to access the app, with over 30,000 users around the world complaining that they were unable to access the service. The service remained operational in India during that time, with only hundreds of users reporting downtime in the country, according to Downdetector.in.
