Elon Musk’s X will now reveal where users are from and here’s why

In an aggressive move to combat the spread of misinformation on Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter), the company has rolled out a new transparency tool. Called ‘About this account,’ the feature will now display the country of origin, or a broader region, for all user profiles, alongside other key metadata. This feature, announced amidst growing concerns over bots, AI-generated content, and foreign influence campaigns, aims to make users verify the authenticity of accounts before engaging.
