Elon Musk’s X platform (formerly Twitter) recently rolled out a new feature for user profiles that displays more information about accounts, including which country or region they are based in.
Now, X users can go to an account’s profile and click on the date that the account “joined” the platform, which will then take them to an “about” page revealing the additional details.
On Sunday, many X users flocked to popular anonymous accounts to check where they are located, and began sharing screenshots of what they found, revealing that many of the “MAGA” accounts sowing division and infighting within the conservative movement are actually based in foreign nations, including India, Nigeria and Bangladesh.
“Who knew that an Austrian has been running a ‘Republicans against Trump’ psyop page? This new feature has to be one of my FAVORITE ones X has ever added,” conservative commentator Gunther Eagleman said.
“Watch the PETTY infighting stop now that foreign countries aren’t pushing slop under cover of anonymity,” he added.
Eagleman also shared a screenshot of the about page for the popular “Republicans Against Trump” account — which boasts a staggering 978,200 followers — revealing the anti-Trump account is based in Austria.

Notably, after being caught, some foreign-based accounts posing as U.S. citizens began using a VPN to appear as though they are in the United States. However, users began noting that an exclamation point next to the account’s location reveals they are using an VPN.
An exclamation point next to “United States” on the about page for the “Republicans Against Trump” account, for example, reveals at the time of this writing that the account is using a VPN.
The lack of an exclamation point means a user is seeing the real location for the account.
Let’s do that here. Get rid of the Ukes and Russians.
I’m either in NM or TX just like I say.
How reliable is this though? My X account says my account is based in France. I do not live in France, have never been to France, and do not use any VPNs or proxies. Just the fact it has my own account so wrong is making it hard for me to believe its details about anyone.
You mean it isn’t always the PRC?
Its not just “MAGA divisions” being posted from non-USA accounts
Its Israel/Palestine being posted from Poland or Africa
Its Ukraine posts coming from the mid east or India.
Its “transgender rights” in USA, coming from everywhere
EVERYTHING has bot-farms, fakery to it and dark money behind it.
Sorry to say, but I would bet same thing happens here on FR too.
I’ve been banned on X for six years.
My location is moot.
Almost ALL of the foreign “disruptor” accounts are owned (or paid for) by US INTEL actors ... MIL/CIA/ForServe.
That's like support for the funding of the Ukraine war with US tax dollars. Most are foreigners posing as Americans.
99% of everything online is fake and gay until proven otherwise...
:)
The Uke threads will be empty.
Time to do the same to their country aka even.
Another reason never to join social media sites.
Free Republic has been a target for a very long time. Lately I’ll see someone trying to stir up some shiite who I’d never seen comment before and learn they’d held an account going back years but hardly if ever piped up until specific recent issues are discussed.
There was a wave of them over twenty years ago pushing the Chamber of Commerce open border agenda until they got zotted away.
Guess they eventually got their wish, looking at the Biden regime’s flood of illegal aliens we’re plagued with.
I don’t give a damn what you believe dude.
“”Elon Musk’s X recently rolled out a new feature that shows the location that accounts operate from. Many anonymous accounts claiming to be MAGA yet pushing division in the conservative movement have been exposed as operating from India, Pakistan, and other nations. Popular influencers with known identities are pointing out foreign fakers, most of which who have claimed to be Americans for years.””

Sorry, but... my shock face froze and finally shattered due to overuse.
Same here.
Posters that had a reputation of being reliably conservative all of a sudden started posted negative crap about President Trump or other such things.
