This is good. I like this.

It means toxic sanghi posters cannot pretend to be white or Israeli.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Cant this easily be circumvented?

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Good, Bangladeshi posing as Indians will get exposed.

And all the silent Jihadists who keep spreading "proofs over social media" will get exposed as well.

Using a VPN.

 

[rpant_gabba]

Using a VPN.

In theory, yes.

But there solid VPN filters that even streaming services use to block that

 

[Hikaru]

Very good. Was sick of Jihadis hiding behind white accounts.

Great initiative, now some people are going to get exposed big time

 

[Cover Drive Six]

A lot of fake Palestinian warriors will get exposed soon. Lol.

Best way for Twitter to ascertain a user's country of origin would be to get them verified by phone.

I think you can bypass it by changing the settings or using a VPN.

Someone who goes to the effort of pretending to be from another country will be savvy enough to get around this then.

Make them sign up via credit card

 

[YousafTheBeast]

@DeusVultJohnSmith - posting from the slums of Mumbai. Lmao

Twitter/X should implement a KYC (Know Your Customer) feature.

I think it can weed out 99% of the trolls.

 

[JaDed]

this is really a good move, should also block folks accessing using VPN, only if ethnicity could be shown too

I am not sure why he is doing it.

95% is fake accounts.

The whole twitter will become silent.

 

[cricketfan24]

excellent stuff

bad news for the Indians though

That is true but even he knows that, doubt he cares.

 

[ElRaja]

if u could filter out content by country social the whole social media expereince would be so much better.

Same for Khalistanis from Canada posing as Indians living in Punjab.

 

[Champ_Pal]

This should eliminate all the fake accounts posing from various countries pretending as someone else.

I say PakPassion should do the same. Display the country from where the accounts are posting from. Some accounts are quite suspicious.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Funny how the OP chose to post the opinions and screenshots from a neo-buddhist Bhimwadi Ambedkarite clown. The account Pratyusha with the name Bhim in it exposes the real agenda.

Most Pakistani and Indian posters on PP don't even live in their respective countries.

For sure. I do have some doubts on a few posters and what they claim to be.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good step to close out the noise of fake news.

It will make the world a better place then. I am all for it.

Can u take another poster suggestions to implement here also bro?.it will keep lid on false propaganda

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

PakPassion should definitely add this feature. Watching a few folks get the shock of their lives after seeing my location would be pure entertainment. Let's see what they come up with next when that excuse disappears.

#HaiHimmat?

@BouncerGuy by any chance, Will it show u r from headquarters

You are going off script now. Your job is to cheerlead for the other members of AAND - the Association of Andhbhakhts for National Delusion. Let them speak first, then you can cheerlead for them.

 

[BouncerGuy]

GUYS, PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC ABOUT X HERE...

NO PERSONAL STUFF

 

[Vikram1989]

What headquarters???

Pak have only one head.wherever he stays , its headquarters.
