X Reveals Account Origins: Know Who's Behind the Posts
22 Nov
Summary
- New 'About this account' feature reveals user location and username changes.
- X will also show the country where an account was created.
- Feature aims to verify content authenticity on the platform.
The social media platform X is introducing a new feature named 'About this account' to offer users more insight into account origins. This upcoming tool will publicly display information such as the country where an account is located, its creation country, and the history of username changes. This initiative aims to enhance content verification and user trust on the platform.
Currently, users can access their own account information, including the option to display their country or continent. The broader rollout, allowing users to view details for other accounts, is in progress. Some users have already begun seeing the new feature reflected on profiles, with screenshots circulating online.
X's move mirrors similar transparency features on other major social media networks. For users accessing the platform via VPN, a disclaimer may appear noting potential inaccuracies in country or region data, as observed by some users.
