Xitter is rolling out an "account based in" location feature for all its users - Post X accounts exposed as being LARPing jeets

[NeonFlux]

Everybody got it wrong. Instead of robots taking over conflicts/fronts, it's going to be outsourced indians on the front lines used by all sides.

The feature's not working for me

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

From looking at my own throwaway account the "based in" info is less reliable and will show this if you use a VPN:

For me it just shows the country I manually set the account to, so that makes that info kinda useless. The country info for the join date however is accurate and I would assume it is
for most other accounts if they forgot to use a VPN when creating their account.

VPN is only useful for the part that shows where you are currently. More useful is where the account was created since few will have had the foresight to cover their tracks back when these accounts were originally created.

I get why you would note if an account is using a VPN or proxy if you're going to implement a system like this, but accounts from first world countries that are using them are always going to be accused of being Indian or Israeli or whatever and trying to hide it. There are legitimate reasons to use a VPN other than to obfuscate what country you're in.

From looking at my own throwaway account the "based in" info is less reliable and will show this if you use a VPN:

Who the hell is using a VPN set to India? I've been connected to a VPN more or less constantly for the past several years and I've never felt the need to connect to a server outside my own country except when trying to access country-specific content.

Your food delivery robot? Indians.
Your automated checkout convenience store? Indians.
Your 'self-driving' Waymo? Indians.
Your favorite ragebait Twitter account? You guessed it, Indians.

AI - Actually Indians.

This is extremely antisemitic and a direct continuation of the Holocaust.

 

[ChefKiss]

Brown Internet theory.

(it's much worse than the dead internet theory)

 

[Sooty Soot]

This is literally the Indian equivalent of the Holocaust, #StopHinduHateNOW

Can I check nationalities even if I don't sign into twitter?

 

[Big Fat Guy]

Trump and Elon’s army of jeets, of course. “Fell for it again” cannot be overstated.

 

[Godai Yuusaku]

Oyvey Elon stop! You're exposing our bnwo BBC racemixing and our doomer blackpilled accounts!!

 

[Tragi-Chan]

Indianstartupnews is featuring this for, you know, whatever reason.

 

[diroama]

There's a lot of accounts that constantly post lazy slop arguing in favour of Scottish independence.

They've long been suspected of being Iranian bots - especially as they went silent on the day of the recent Tehran bombings only to return a few days later.

Eager to see what this says about them.

What about those faggot with the Lincoln project or Reagan battalion? If that's what they were called...

 

[Miller]

I can't wait to find out that all the whore accounts who reply to hit xeets are Indians.

What about those faggot with the Lincoln project or Reagan battalion? If that's what they were called...

Probably all registered from Little Saint James.

 

[Stupid Sexy Flanders]

Rare Elon W. It would be worth registering at that shit hole for this hilarity alone.

 

[Großmann]

This is prepping twitter for censorship and to allow twitter to streamline the process of handing information to police in relative countries.

You act like your location wasn’t already available to X before this.

 

[bouquetnine]

Is this real? Insane if so.

Edit: Someone has a screen recording of it.
ssstwitter.com_1763793107838.mp4

Edit 2: A discrepancy I just noticed between the screenshot (from one user) and the screen recording (from a different user) is that one displays the location as "Tel Aviv, Israel" and the other just displays it as "Israel". One displays "Connected via Israel App Store" and the other displays "Connected via Israel Android App". One also mentions username changes and the other doesn't. The screenshot version also lacks the checkmark but the recording version has it. So it's probably faked.

A/B testing is so common that it's impossible to trust screenshots, even they're from a reputable source. Another part of the post-truth society we live in.

Giving internet access to india and its consequences:

Also why are they so desperate to suck off jews? Do they not know that the Jews dont like them, or??

To be fair, no one likes them. I'm guessing jeets assumed beggars can't be choosers like a fat kid who saw another fat kid at recess but they thought wrong. Everyone draws the line when it comes to jeets.
