PARIS, France: Multiple online platforms including US President Donald Trump´s Truth Social network were briefly down on Friday, with American internet services company Cloudflare acknowledging its systems were to blame.

An error message mentioning Cloudflare was displayed to people trying to visit Truth Social and other sites, such as graphic design platform Canva, until around 0930 GMT.

“We are aware of the issue impacting the availability of Cloudflare´s network,” the company´s chief technology officer Dane Knecht posted on the X social network at 0920 GMT, adding that the cause was “not an attack”. Many X users had complained of problems connecting to other sites earlier in the day.
