Dropping fast

Is Pinterest back?

Many users are the Downdetector comments section for Pinterest are saying they’ve successfully logged into the popular social media service. That, along with the total of reports dropping to right around the half the amount they were during the peak, leads us to believe that the outage may be under control, though we can’t say for sure until the number of reports dips a little further.
