X Transparency Tool Exposes Fake Foreign Accounts
- Recently, Elon Musk's X has introduced the 'About this account' feature accessible from the 'Joined' button on profiles, revealing account background and history.

- By following Instagram and Facebook, Elon Musk's X joins major platforms adopting transparency features, with technology reporters saying the rollout could change account perceptions as it expands.
