X is slated to display what country accounts are based out of as well as other details in an effort to reduce inauthentic engagement on the social media platform. The announcement was made on Tuesday.
Nikita Bier, the head of product at X, said in a post, "When you read content on X, you should be able to verify its authenticity. This is critical to getting a pulse on important issues happening in the world. As part of that, we're experimenting with displaying new information on profiles, including which country an account is based, among other details. Starting next week, we will surface this on a handful of profiles of X team members to get feedback."
