X will introduce a feature to display account holders' country of origin starting as early as next week. The introduction of this feature was announced by Nikita Bier, who is the head of product at X yesterday. In addition to showing the country of origin, a feature showing how many times the account name has been changed and when the account was opened will also be displayed on a separate screen.
He added that this feature of displaying information can be turned off by the account holder when it is turned off. So if you are hoping that this new feature will solve the issue of astroturfing and bots from abroad trying to prick the needle of a bad narrative, you will definitely be disappointed.
Elon Musk's platform has a serious bot issue with Twitter Premium subscriptions. The issue will be played by a horde of paid accounts claiming to be from country X but actually from country Y. It has been revealed that several incidents of pro-Israel accounts on X actually belong to Indian citizens who are staunch supporters of genocidal activities in Palestine. It is also used by certain countries to manipulate racial issues.
