X May Soon Warn When Users Access the Platform Via VPN

[madmax]

Reverse-engineered code suggests X is building a feature that would flag accounts using a VPN to mask their location. If enabled, a notice may appear saying the displayed country or region “may not be accurate.” This could add a new layer of transparency to combat misinformation campaigns. However, it remains unclear when — or if — the VPN warning will go live.
