Last month, X’s Head of Product Nikita Bier said it was "experimenting with displaying new information on profiles, including which country an account is based, among other details." 🛡️ When Bier first teased these expanded profiles, some people expressed concerns about privacy, as many X users log on from regions with repressive regimes and use VPNs to hide their locations. Of course, scammers could use the technology for the same purposes. Speaking to TechRadar, NordVPN CTO Marijus Briedis said the VPN disclaimer would "make it easier to single out journalists, activists, or users in high-risk countries as 'suspicious' just because they care about privacy." Last month, Bier said, "There will be privacy toggles. However, if a user configures them, that will likely be highlighted on their profile. More to come." 📸: Jonathan Raa/NurPhoto via Getty Images, aaronp613/x #XPrivacy #VPN #TechNews #DigitalSecurity #SocialMedia Like what you're reading? Don't miss out on our latest sto...
