Twitter has crashed after blocking Donald Trump from tweeting.

Many Twitter users across the US and Great Britain were unable to send tweets following the glitch which also caused the tech giant’s homepage feeds to go blank.

CityNews Nigeria gathered from multiple sources that the unexplained outage which began at about 10.30pm on Thursday, according to data from Downdetector might not be unconnected to an upgrade from Twitter.

Twitter whilst reacting to the technical problem confirmed that an “inadvertent change” made to its internal systems had caused the crashes throughout the US evening and Australian morning.

The glitch prompted many frustrated users in the United States took to Facebook and other social media platforms to express their anger about ”broken Twitter”.

However, the entire social media site was quickly brought back online.

CityNews Nigeria recalls that Twitter yesterday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign’s account after it posted a video about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son that it said violated its rules.

The video referred to a New York Post story from Wednesday that contained alleged details of Hunter Biden’s business dealings with a Ukrainian energy company and said the former vice president had met with an adviser of the company.
