Many of the most influential personalities in the
โ€œMake America great againโ€ (Maga) movement on X
๐Ÿ’ฅare based outside of the US, including Russia, Nigeria and India,
a new transparency feature on the social media site has revealed.

The new tool, called โ€œabout this account,โ€ became available on Friday to users of the Elon Musk-owned platform.
It allows anyone to see where an account is located, when it joined the platform, how often its username has been changed, and how the X app was downloaded.

๐Ÿ”ฅAs soon as the update was rolled out, users found numerous Maga and rightwing influencers who presented themselves as patriotic Americans were operating from other countries.
