"Many of the accounts that have been revealed to be overseas are branded as pro-Trump MAGA accounts or part of Nick Fuentes's Groypers. Fans of the new feature were also quick to point out the abundance of pro-Palestinian accounts claiming to be reporting from inside Gaza or the U.S., that were in fact as far away as Australia or Indonesia."
"Pro-Trump NewsNation host Batya Ungar Sargon shared a MAGA-branded account that was revealed to be based in Bangladesh and wrote, Exposing where these accounts are located was a stupendous act of patriotism. Thank you @elonmusk and thank you @KatiePavlich whose idea it was! Reason's Robby Soave added, I was reflexively disinclined to believe it was all foreign accounts promoting racism and anti-Semitism under the guise of the pro-Trump America First banner."
X implemented a geolocation feature that displays the global locations of accounts and revealed numerous politically aligned accounts based outside the United States. Many revealed accounts are branded as pro-Trump MAGA profiles or associated with Nick Fuentes's Groypers and are located in countries such as Bangladesh and Pakistan. Several pro-Palestinian accounts claiming to report from Gaza or the U.S. were found in Australia and Indonesia. Public figures praised the feature for exposing foreign activity and argued that some online racism and anti-Semitism under nationalist banners originates from overseas accounts rather than domestic users.
