The social media platform 'X', owned by Elon Musk, has launched a new feature called 'About this profile', which allows users to check information about other users' accounts. This option has generated a stir in the USA, as it revealed that many MAGA influencer accounts, which support Donald Trump's movement, are not actually based in the United States. Examples include accounts that claim to be American patriots but are located in Eastern Europe, Turkey, or Bangladesh.
Additionally, fan accounts of the Trump family have been identified in Nigeria and Macedonia. This feature aims to help users verify the authenticity of content, and the platform's engineers suggest that they can detect the use of VPNs, which can mask users' real locations. This discovery has raised suspicions about possible foreign influence campaigns, considering that accounts that lie about their location could be used to spread misinformation and polarize public opinion.
