00:00How X's new location feature is fuelling misinformation

00:08X recently rolled out its new transparency feature on every profile,

00:12showing data such as where the app was downloaded,

00:15when the user joined and, crucially, their location.

00:18But some of these locations don't appear to match up,

00:21fuelling concerns of misinformation.

00:23For example, this account, which claims to be a war correspondent,

00:26mainly posts videos of herself in Russian cities or in the occupied Donbas.

00:30But X's new tour places her not in Russia but in Ireland.

00:34She's not the only one, though.

00:35Several other Russian-language accounts with thousands of followers

00:38show the same location.

00:40The feature also reveals inconsistencies in large anonymous pages.

00:44Russia news, with over 225,000 followers

00:47and a stated location in St. Petersburg,

00:50appears to be operating from the UAE.

00:53But it's not just Russia-related accounts.

00:55Several 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

01:06accounts are deliberately hiding their true locations.

01:09Whilst an account could be part of a coordinated campaign,

01:12it 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

01:20depending 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.

01:43We will always see that supply of low time,

01:44which can be found on the right track of tomorrow.

01:46Thank you so much for being here.

01:47Please do join us.

01:49I'm ready to join us.

01:50We will see you in the next three weeks.

01:52We'll see you next week.

01:53We've got the right track of the game as a completely different journey.

01:55We'll see you next week.

01:56We'll see you next week.

01:57We'll see you next week.

01:59We'll see you next week.

02:01We'll see you next week.
