Posting a gallery of MAGA accounts appearing to be based in Japan, New Zealand, Pakistan and Thailand, left-wing influencer Mika Irfan wrote: “This is complete Armageddon for the online right.”

Many of the surprising accounts, such as @American who appears to be based in Pakistan, are relatively small, though others have hundreds of thousands of followers.

The feature is being rolled out globally, X product manager Nikita Beer said on Saturday, calling it an “important first step to ensuring the safety of the global city square.” However, some users have complained that their listed location is wildly inaccurate.
