00:00How X's new location feature is fueling misinformation
00:08X recently rolled out its new transparency feature on every profile
00:12Showing data such as where the app was downloaded, when the user joined and crucially their location
00:18But some of these locations don't appear to match up fueling concerns of misinformation
00:23For example, this account which claims to be a war correspondent
00:26Daily posts videos of herself in Russian cities or in the occupied Donbass
00:30But X's new tour places her not in Russia but in Ireland
00:34She's not the only one though, several other Russian language accounts
00:37With thousands of followers show the same location
00:40The feature also reveals inconsistencies in large anonymous pages
00:44Russian news with over 225,000 followers and a stated location in St. Petersburg
00:50Appears to be operating from the UAE
00:53But it's not just Russia related accounts, several profiles posting anti-migrant or anti-EU content
00:58Which claim to be European are flagged as being based outside Europe
01:02But experts warn that discrepancies don't necessarily mean accounts are deliberately hiding their true locations
01:09Whilst an account could be part of a coordinated campaign, it could also be looking to boost followers
01:14A number of these accounts also have blue ticks
01:17Meaning that they may be able to monetize high engagement posts depending on how much engagement they get
01:22On the other side, an account could be relying on a VPN
01:25Which could reroute it through locations such as Ireland or the UAE
01:29X itself says the feature isn't always accurate
01:32And may reflect travel or temporary relocation
01:35And even Euronews has seen inaccuracies
01:37Our own X account was briefly listed as being in the United States
01:41Before shifting back to France
