X just revealed the location of every user on the platform, triggering chaos among foreign rage farmers and slop peddlers — the massive ranks of which have shaped our culture now for years
Twilight of the Pakistani rage farmer. Friday night, X released a long-requested profile update revealing the location of users, including anonymous users. A few glorious hours following that initial and immediately legendary release, the feature was temporarily shut down, as the American commentariat erupted in Surprised Pikachu shock at the revelation much of our domestic online discourse is shaped by catfishing rage farmers from the third world, the ranks of which include many popular anonymous accounts. Saturday afternoon, as American sleuths continued to expose foreign frauds posing as American influencers, X’s head of product Nikita Bier announced the feature would be re-released for good that night, and tweaks were coming over the next few days.
The feature’s brief unplug followed a glitch impacting a small number of users, which Nikita confirmed in conversation with anonymous user I, Hypocrite after admonishing him for sharing, to his 660,000 followers, a wild piece of misinformation surrounding the origin of our government’s DHS account. (No, it isn’t run by Mossad? Honestly wtf is wrong with you people)

X - Twitter has revealed the country of origin of posters.
Many overseas posters posing as Americans.
When I get Notifications I see photos of pretty women.
They must not be pretty or a woman and from Nigeria.... 😬
Well, did you see where it revealed the US Department of Homeland Security as being in Israel?
The user locale for the US Government was then excepted from the “reveal”.

Exactly what I wonder. Too bad FR doesn’t follow poster locations abroad.

I have no idea about his X account, but he lives in New York and Berkeley California.
That explains all the Israeli hate coming from our side.
This confuses me. I thought VPNs prevented us from seeing a poster’s original IP.
I'm missing on this - what does it mean? That it's really not Alex? or that it is and the extradition treaty means something?

Can VPN hide posters orgin - Here is ChatGPT’s answer
Short answer: Yes — a VPN can usually hide the real country of origin from X/Twitter.
But there are a few important caveats.
How X/Twitter Normally Detects Location
Platforms identify your “country of origin” mainly by:
IP address → the big one
Device settings (timezone, language, etc.)
SIM card info (for phones)
GPS (only if the user explicitly allows it — most don’t)
The public IP address is what determines the “country” shown.
If you use a VPN server in Canada, your traffic looks like it comes from Canada.
Does a VPN Hide the Real Location?
In most cases, yes.
X will see the VPN server’s IP and assign the country based on that, not your real location.
When a VPN might NOT hide the real location
There are exceptions:
If X detects mismatched signals
IP says Switzerland but the phone’s GPS says Ohio
They might flag it internally, but they usually still show the VPN country publicly.
If the app leaks data
A poorly configured app may bypass the VPN for some connections (“IP leak”).
This is rare with good VPNs.
If the user logs in from multiple locations quickly
X may override the VPN location with a “known previous location.”
If the VPN IP range is known
Some platforms can identify an IP as “VPN/proxy,” but they still generally treat it as the country where the VPN server physically sits.
Practical reality
For 99% of users:
If you use a VPN,
And your phone doesn’t leak GPS,
And you aren’t logging in from two different countries at once,
X will show the VPN’s country—not your real one.
It means he either has bought his way into Nigeria and resides there to guard against facing justice in the USA -
Or … he is getting everything lined up as a plan B
I see. Thank you.
