X launched an "About this Account" feature intended to secure the integrity of the global town square. The feature showed that multiple high‑follower MAGA and right‑wing accounts were listed as created or based outside the United States, including accounts tied to Eastern Europe, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Nigeria.
