so they'll pay for VPNs/Proxies with residential IPs in their desired location.
heck twitter will probably later offer you an option to buy it themselves or an option to set your desired location if you just pay for X++ premium bot services.
- SmirkingRevenge 10mo agoI assume most accounts getting exposed now basically started with the assumption that this info would not be exposed publicly, but they will adapt. So this is like a one time shot of transparency, that will quickly be useless (although I’ve been hearing it has been rolled back already - some speculation is because it exposed that the majority of MAGA boosters were not US based)
- kardianos 10mo agoNo, it exposed the groypers and racists masquerading as MAGA or conservatives who are from foreign countries.
- IncreasePosts 10mo agoYeah, and they will delete their accounts and start over, only logging in when they're on a US terminated VPN. Whoever was following these people aren't taking a hard look at themselves in the mirror now. They're just searching out the same content that is "really" American.

- AuthAuth 10mo agoWhats the difference? Both groups are firmly MAGA and supported by MAGA.
- Seattle3503 10mo agoSome sort of mdl scheme where people can verify their location without disclosing their entire identity would be nice.
- tguvot 10mo agoI believe Twitter shows if account uses vpn
- skinnymuch 10mo agoHow would you know a residential ip vpn is a vpn? Twitter won’t.
- tguvot 10mo agoall big companies that need to deal (block) with vpn know how to identify vpn. it's not new.
- skinnymuch 9mo agoWeird. The sites that block standard vpns don’t block the residential IPs I used to buy. Nor did they seem to know I was on using them. I don’t get how they would be able to know.
