How is this possible? Are they paying social media companies in foreign countries to do their posting?
qntmfred•2mo ago
it's of course possible. it wouldn't make sense, but it is certainly possible. the more important question is whether it is true. no, it is not.
sfc32•2mo ago
Most of Maga is in Africa, and all over Africa? A bit difficult to understand.
game_the0ry•2mo ago
Likely bots using VPNs.
jstanley•2mo ago
The article is admittedly very difficult to follow, but that's not what it is saying.

That is something that it is quoting. Including a "community note" that it is a map of male circumcision from some academic paper.

The article is implying that the account that posted the map (which is "fake news" according to the community note in the screenshot) was revealed to be from some country other than the US.

Twitter’s monetization program rewards engagement. It’s not life changing amounts in the developed world. It is in much of Africa.
qntmfred•2mo ago
it's not real you can safely ignore it
belter•2mo ago
Imagine being paid in rubles to pretend you are from Ohio...
sparrish•2mo ago
The map is fake. Please note the X community note on that post: "This map is the prevalence of male circumcision" from a 2024 study https://www.mdpi.com/2563-6499/5/3/36 (see figure 1)
catigula•2mo ago
AFAIK this was fake news. Plenty of screenshots flying making many claims about the intentions of all kinds of people, Israelis, Indians, Nigerians, etc.
karel-3d•2mo ago
No it was not. That screenshot was nonsense. And if you believe it you are quite gullible.
sschueller•2mo ago
Can you provide a source?
karel-3d•2mo ago
You can click on the account yourself.

Hindustan times article was much better on this. Shows that this issue is prevalent on both side, with seemingly less of an axe to grind against Israel, and Right wing accounts.

qntmfred•2mo ago
yup. it's just discord sowing all around. cambridge analytica wasn't all that long ago.
saaaaaam•2mo ago
(a) The Canary is not a reliable journalistic news source

(b) The article says “Twitter is incredibly buggy, so sometimes different people have different user experiences” but then presents the “evidence” of location as incontrovertible proof.

(c) One of the maps purporting to show MAGA account locations has a community fact check note attached to it saying that it is, in fact, a map of the prevalence of male circumcision.

takoid•2mo ago
I have yet to see any definitive proof that this is real.

The screenshot in this post appears fabricated (specifically, the 'July 2008 in Israel' is misaligned): https://x.com/astrrals/status/1991942287128199433

The video evidence, which is the only video evidence that seems to exist, is equally unconvincing: https://x.com/AdameMedia/status/1992288673887343014

Additionally, Nikita Bier has gone on record stating that "Location was not available on any gray check account at any point." https://x.com/nikitabier/status/1992382852328255743
