Seems to be affecting web view but not mobile clients. Wonder if this has anything to do with them not paying their AWS bill as reported the other day.

In case people are wondering what this is about: All links and images are not working on twitter right now. Seems like they accidentally included their own services in the api blocklist? Sending best of luck to the engineers. The whole twitter saga has given me a good chunk of valuable "lesson learned" over the last weeks and months.. so thanks for that.

Everything seems fine for me when I use the main website.

Even the homepage seems to be down as of 11:15am CST. Same error message.

Twitter devs don't have Slack right now to even discuss this. They are all in one crowded conference call, panicking, and with Elon screaming.

This happened right as I was using Selenium to log in to Twitter for a project. Was wondering what the hell I was doing wrong until I saw this and realized it wasn't just me.

Twitter is broken for all users. Dang or someone else should merge this with the other twitter post on the front-page.
