X's new feature exposes global locations of pro-Israel, pro-MAGA bots accused of misinformation

Numerous social media accounts purporting to be 'Israeli' have been exposed as originating from different countries worldwide due to a new feature on X.
A new feature on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, can now reveal the location of profiles created on the micro-blogging site, leading to questions over the origins of several propaganda accounts.
Over the weekend, X users noticed that clicking on an account’s join date opens a tab that shows the country or region in which a specific user is located.
A number of pro-Israel and pro-MAGA accounts, which claim to operate from Israel or the US, have now been exposed as being located outside of these locations.
Several such accounts have amassed hundreds of thousands as followers, and have had many posts go viral.
Among such accounts is 'Mariana Times,' an account created in June 2023 that churns out pro-Israeli propaganda, Islamophobic posts and encourages users to post "content" in favour of Israel. The account has its location stated as South Asia.
