X Resolves Issue That Erased Users’ Photos: Get the Facts
X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter, experienced a major outage a few days ago, resulting in the disappearance of all old photos posted before December 2014. The company has since acknowledged the error on its @support account.
“Over the weekend we had a bug that prevented us from showing images before 2014. No images or data were lost. We fixed the bug and the issue will be fully resolved in the next few days,” the company said.
Many users were annoyed when their photos from 2014 and before disappeared. In fact, some of the most popular photos ever published on X — including Ellen DeGeneres’ famous selfie at the 2014 Oscars with several celebrities — were also removed as part of this mistake.
Under Elon Musk’s leadership, X corp has gone through several changes, including rebranding from Twitter to X, changing the verification system to X Premium, and changing the name of X Premium several times from Twitter Blue to X Blue to X. Premium. These changes have received mixed reactions, with some users praising the new features and others criticizing the changes.
The company has also started paying content producers who meet the requirements a share of their advertising revenue. Many Indian accounts have received large sums of money by subscribing to X Premium and have had at least 500 followers and 5 million impressions in the last three months.
Musk has also wanted to make X an all-in-one app that can help you find jobs, make video calls, and even stream.
