Twitter Experienced Outage Due To Disabled External Links

Twitter on Monday experienced an outage that disabled external links, preventing users worldwide from accessing articles from outside websites.

The microblogging site, owned by Elon Musk, had previously announced that certain features would be non-functional.

Twitter users expressed their disappointment at the inability to read external links.

“Some parts of Twitter may not be working as expected right now,” the company’s tech support account said in a tweet, blaming the problem on “unintended consequences” from an update to the platform.

The breakdown, which appeared fixed in less than an hour, occurred as the social media giant was making effort to stabilise after several rounds of layoffs saw more than two-thirds of workers let go.

Experts say Twitter is running on a skeleton staff, leaving the platform vulnerable to outages as well as disinformation and harmful content given the fewer numbers to keep the site up and running.

During the outage, users trying to click into links were greeted with an error message saying “your API plan does not include access to this endpoint”.

An API, or Application Programming Interface, refers to Twitter software that is made available to outside developers to make their own adaptations of the platform.

Last month, Twitter announced that it will no longer provide free access to outside developers as the company looks for new avenues to generate revenue.

After Musk acquired Twitter, the platform has been plagued by disorder, leading to a mass exodus of major advertisers and jeopardizing the site’s primary source of income.

Timi Dakolo Accuses Apostle Femi Lazarus Of Charging $150 For Ministry School

Religious Gatherings To Avoid By Timi Dakolo

The public dispute between renowned singer Timi Dakolo and Pastor Femi Lazarus has intensified, with Dakolo now accusing the Light Nation Church founder of profiting from ministry teachings.

The controversy first erupted when the two clashed over whether gospel artistes should charge fees for performing at church events.

Pastor Lazarus, in a widely circulated video, argued that gospel musicians should not demand payment for ministering, insisting that they should trust God for provision rather than seeking financial gain.

According to him, gospel artistes are not mere entertainers but ministers of the gospel.

Dakolo, however, pushed back against this view, accusing pastors of pressuring gospel singers to offer their services for free.

He defended their right to earn a living, pointing out the financial responsibilities they face.

He also suggested that instead of expecting professional gospel musicians to perform without payment, pastors should focus on developing their church choirs.

Clarifying his stance, Dakolo stated that his response was made out of respect and love. He emphasized that, while he grew up in the church, he does not identify as a gospel artist.

However, he then shifted the discussion by accusing Pastor Lazarus of charging students for enrollment in his ministry school, which provides Christian teachings.

According to Dakolo, the school’s enrollment fee is approximately $150 per student, with about 1,000 students reportedly registered. He backed up his claims by sharing a screenshot that allegedly details the fee structure.

He criticized the pastor for monetizing what he described as a “freely given gift and revelation.”

“All this was said in love and with respect, sir. I am not a gospel artist but a Christian raised in church. Let’s not shift the goal post,” Dakolo stated.

“By your definition, if anyone charges to minister, they are not gospel artists; they are performers. And by that definition, if any preacher charges to teach and minister, they are merchants of hope and motivational speakers too.”

Questioning the structure of the ministry school, he added:

“Sir, you are charging as low as $150 per person for your school of ministry, teaching and preaching Jesus, probably having as much as 1,000 students. Let’s do the maths. You even have premium and standard for God’s house? Are you not selling the gift and revelation freely given to you? Again, let’s not keep shifting the goal post.”
