X plans to show more information about user profiles to help improve trust

Since making AI bot makes it easier that works like more humans, Elon Mask’s X is developing a new feature that will reveal more information about users behind an X profile in an attempt to better understand people on the platform.

Ay New post By the head of X’s product Nikita Bear, the social network will begin the test, its location, its location, its username number of changes, and how it is using X’s service with details on the user’s profiles.

The idea is to make a more informed decision on whether the users are operating a pure account by publishing a few of these details or whether they are probably trying to sow a bot or bad actor misinformation.

For example, if an account bio claims they are located in the United States, their account information shows that it is based abroad, you can suspect that the account has another agenda.

Similarly, if it shows that they have downloaded the X app in an international App Store, they pretend that they are from the United States, you can question their validity. (It is to say that no one can start an account anywhere else and then move to the United States, but it is a signal that can be combined with others – like multiple user names, perhaps – it may raise the red flag))

Beer said that X will start examining the feature in the profile of some X employees next week to get the feedback before the X is more broadly roll. He mentioned in a question about the user’s privacy that people would be able to appear in this information. However, he mentioned, “If a user configures [the privacy toggles]It will probably be highlighted in their profile. ”

He also addressed concerns about the publication of the people’s position, there are areas where there are some areas that can have speech, he said that X could replace the region for the country in this case.

The idea of ​​displaying more information about a social media account is not new to help users to be involved with social media. In A recent interview For example, Adam Mossi, the head of Instagram, said at the ScreenTime conference of Bloomberg that users could view someone’s profile and set the set of similar information today in photos and video sharing apps.

“Today, if you go to my profile, you can go to ‘about this profile’ and you can see how long I have received this profile, I have changed my username, how many times you have changed my username – you can use to believe that you do not want to believe or believe,” He said that Instagram “more than” Future “could provide additional context”.

If the changes of X are publicly roll out, they can help solve the problems surrounding the confidence, though scammers and spammers often have effective ways to work around exposure efforts.

The news has followed a recent bot perz in X -in, where the agency 1.7 million bots have been removed North involves spam.
