The bug seems to have been affecting Indian users as well. “Everything OK with @Twitter? It keeps deleting RTs & likes. Observed huge fluctuation in retweets,” Xiaomi India Managing Director and Global Vice President Manu Jain tweeted on Tuesday. The bug made users wonder if accounts were being suspended in mass or if Twitter was deleting them, TechCrunch reported. Twitter has a global user-base of nearly 236 million active monthly users and it is not clear how many users actually did get affected by the problem. Earlier in February, a Twitter bug confused Android users into believing they were viewing posts from random strangers when actually it was Twitter that was mislabelling usernames on retweets.
