Don't remind me again today

So X just rolled out this new feature that displays where accounts are actually based geographically. Sounds innocent enough, right?



Turns out it's exposing something pretty wild. A bunch of those massive political accounts—you know, the ones constantly pumping out hardcore pro-Trump content—aren't even operating from the United States.

Like, we're talking accounts with huge followings that have been shaping political narratives, and now we're finding out they're running from completely different countries or regions.

The whole thing raises some interesting questions about online influence operations and how authentic these voices actually are. When you see an account with millions of followers pushing a specific political agenda 24/7, you kinda assume they're local to the conversation they're dominating.

This location tag feature might be simple, but it's already pulling back the curtain on the real geography behind online political theater. Makes you wonder how many other "organic" accounts are actually coordinated ops from elsewhere.

Anyone else checking where their favorite accounts are actually posting from now? The results might surprise you.

Ngl, this is getting interesting. Those accounts that brainwash every day are actually operating abroad, it’s hilarious.

This is getting interesting, those accounts that shout every day are actually abroad? It feels like the whole public opinion arena is just a performance.

Ha, now the truth is out, those accounts that cry out every day are not even in the U.S. Really? I still need to check where the people I follow are operating from. This is a common operation in information warfare... I had already guessed it. But speaking of which, this function is quite interesting, finally able to see through the true nature of those "spontaneous" movements. A geographical location feature directly exposes the hypocrisy of half the internet, that's what I call impact. I said, how come they are posting 24 hours a day? Turns out they are not in the same time zone.

Wow, this time it really got pumped out. I said how some celebrities don't sleep for 24 hours... I've long suspected that these political accounts aren't right, and now there's finally evidence. This feature is truly amazing, although simple, it’s too ruthless, pulling out all the falsehoods. Now I understand what "overseas agents" means, it's hilarious. I'm really curious how many accounts are like this, hanging sheep's heads while selling dog meat... Now the true face of online public opinion is really going to be revealed to the world.

ngl this location tag thing is basically pulling back the curtain on how deep the manipulation goes... reminds me of watching positions blow up in real time, except it's happening to public discourse itself. been there, lost that kind of trust before tbh
