However, the agency’s website and other social media pages, such as Facebook and Instagram, are functional.

NAN reports that there are a number of reasons why accounts on the platform may not be accessible.

They include poor internet connection, uncleared cache, suspicious usage/attempted hack, to the flagging of the handle for a violation of X policies.
