Twitter has been hit by a major bug that means users are unable to leave to other websites or see images.
Users clicking on links were instead shown a long error message indicating that there is a problem with Twitter’s API, the system that is used to communicate with other services.
It means that links shared on the site cannot be followed at all. Links also showed up as blank blocks of colour.
Tweetdeck, the company’s more specialised service for following tweets, also appeared to be broken as a result of the same problems. Users saw the app go entirely blank at the same time the links broke.
Twitter may have broken the service itself, after making major changes to its systems,
