International X (Twitter) Reveals Top "MAGA/America First" Accounts Are Actually Foreign Agitators

[The Big Yin]

Wasn't this already obvious? In 2020 during the Euros, UK police were investigating racist tweets against the England football team players, declaring white England fans to be racist. turns out the tweets were from from India.

I don't see how the left can claim this as some big win. The big online Nazi Boogeyman that the left think exists in Western nations is actually in South Asia - and you want to import these sacks of shit into your developed nation.

It isn’t a win for the left. There aren’t any winners in this except maybe foreign interests and trolls.

This reminds me of a few months ago when Twitch announced they were cutting fake viewers.

Some twats complained, and it was telling the world they believed or knew their favorite streamers were using fake viewers to increase their profile on Twitch.

Practically everyone else encouraged the move, including some of the biggest streamers that either knew or suspected a portion of their viewerbase was fake.


So, if you're of the left and are just picking out the MAGA-accounts and ignoring the leftist-accounts that were also exposed, you're a hack. You're not into transparency you're fine with deception/fraud as long as it's to the advantage of your agenda.

If you're of the left and are in support of this, letting the chips fall where they may, we're in agreement.

Big respect for Elon doing this, and hopefully he'll be able to remove the fake accounts problem completely in the near future....although this is a big step in that direction I'm curious why that issue has been so difficult to fix.

It’s insane how this isn’t common knowledge.
Every damn power country in the world has their own little “department of online shenanigans” that sows seeds of dissent now. Every interest group. Basically every seat of power. It’s part of the game now. Better get used to it

Michigan pass a law blocking VPN access as a part to limit foreign actors claiming US citizenship. Newsmax crying about it.

We need to find out who’s running the dov kleiman nfl account. Goat trolling there.

 

[TUFNewb]

it doesn't. they scrambled it on purpose.

If so it is done with zero rhyme or reason. I have multiple account linked together. Some show the correct location, some show an incorrect one lol. "Connected via" is inconsistent as well.

What a clown show. This is not how a serious company operates.

Yeah its not accurate anyhow. X admits that..

But most people are just going to ignore that caveat when it suits.

Like the israelie government



Mostasem A Dalloul, a journalist working in Gaza, also came under fire from the Israeli Foreign Ministry when it accused him of spreading fake news after X’s new featured flagged him to Poland.

Dalloul responded to the claims by posting a video of himself Saturday mocking the allegations as he walked around a destroyed neighborhood asking if such a scenery exists in the middle of Poland.

X notes that the country or region flagged on an account “may not be accurate and can change periodically.”

What idiots.

How is it fb can display locations properly but these goofs can't?

Riddle me this... How is it I can go to https://x.com/settings/sessions and it shows the correct location (as it always has), but simultaneously be incorrect in the "Account based in" section? This fucking piece of shit app lol.

 

[Confucamus]

Only it doesn't make any sense for accounts supporting Trump to use a VPN to alter their location to Russia.

Are you able to choose where a VPN shows your location?

 

[Hog-train]

Are you able to choose where a VPN shows your location?

People can use a VPN or proxy to pick location, but there is an 'i" to the right of the location field.

When that is there, that means they're using a VPN/proxy. When you click it, you get this.

Obvious to who? The people reposting, following and commenting on these accounts clearly had no idea. Or maybe they did and they were purposely amplifying foreign accounts trying to divide America.

To be honest I have no idea, or whether one always uses the same location, but what are the odds it's a VPN compared to Russian propaganda considering what our own intelligence agencies have told us.

Because those Trusted News Initiative affiliates and large media corporations have been doing a great job...

Nope not at all . They as bad in different ways

 

[ShadowRun]

Considering this place is major low security because, well why bother. And they have shit like very questionable advertising, I highly doubt they are doing anything like that except for shit like IP bans. Either way those people are either bots or just mentally handicapped.

True , often the ads have malware in them here , malvertising its called . Or I see people complain about the ads overwriting the browser taking over the screens . Pretty sad

 

[cottagecheesefan]

Probably has to do with designating the Muslim brotherhood a terrorist organization, and how the fund the radical left that has been overtaking the party. Of course mainstream media had to deflect to MAGA being nefarious, citing accounts a couple of minor that just report content.

Didn’t @Confucamus ooint put that the article mentioned two accounts with 400k followers and another with 1million, which was “ivanka trump news” which is a reweeter account.

Accounts like Ian Miles cheong have been called out for years for being a foreign influencer.
