X Introduces New Transparency Feature
X, formerly Twitter, is introducing a new feature to increase transparency on the platform.
Head of Product Nikita Bier previewed a redesigned "About this account" section, which will display information such as:
- When someone joined the platform
- The country their account is based in
- How many times they've changed usernames
- Where the account is connected from
The goal is to help users verify authenticity and reduce inauthentic engagement.
The feature will be tested on X staff profiles starting next week, with a wider rollout to follow.
