A temporary glitch on X led to a credibility bloodbath for a variety of foreign propaganda accounts that were either posing as Americans or lying about their locations in other ways.
Days prior, Head of Product Nikita Brier had announced a new feature revealing the origin and current location of users. When it rolled out, though, only account owners could view it. That all changed on Friday night, though. In what is assumed to have been a mistake, everyone's origins and current locations were made public for about an hour before disappearing.
In one instance, it was revealed that one of Hamas' biggest simps has been lying about being in Gaza.

The above was posted when it was 65 degrees at night (and 80 during the day), just to give you an idea of the kind of propaganda being spewed. For years, the above account has claimed to be reporting from the ground in Gaza. He's made hundreds of posts pushing fake claims about genocide, famine, and his own supposed hardships. In reality, his account was created in the United Kingdom, and he's currently residing in Poland.

I'm tired of every last "MAGA_Trump_1776" account with a bald eagle PFP being run by some pajeet from Jaipur.
Everything is fake it seems now. When you're arguing with some lefty on social media it's more than likely some paid shill sitting in a house in eastern europe, not the concerned citizen from Peoria they're pretending. Manipulation of social media is a huge part of the left's tactics, nothing is as it seems. No doubt there are a lot of them on free republic also.
“paid shill sitting in a house in eastern europe, not the concerned citizen from Peoria they’re pretending.”
It is amusing outing them on reddit—not that hard to do.
One thing I can post without getting banned—that drives these fakers crazy—is to ask why they can’t fix X problem in city Y—when only the locals can figure out what part of my claim is true and what is false. A google lookup will not get it done.
That’s not a bug it’s a feature! Desirable feature.
But, then again, I should not insult perfectly good cesspools by comparing their contents with Reddit in public
It would be great if more of these temporary glitches occurred.
Some “accidents” are divine.
Yep. I remember finding out that one of the most virulent, anti-DeSantis posters on this site was actually from Indonesia (the world’s most populous Muslim country).
Be interesting if FR would do the same once in a while...
“Be interesting if FR would do the same once in a while...”
I agree!
People have been begging for it but I think Elon is loathe to implement such a feature as it will immediately result in countless millions of accounts getting mass blocked.
Truth can be nice.
I’d also like to see democrat war room dudes pretending they’re conservative outed too.
Who is calling it a “glitch”. Elon himself posted that this was a new feature.
5 level chess, methinks..
