X location feature is a wake-up call about the media landscape - analysis.
X’s new location tool reveals the global origins of fake accounts, shaking trust in social media.
By Micharl Starr. November 26, 2025
[...]
In the wake of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's electoral victory, a network of accounts supposedly representing orthodox antizionist Jews shared almost identical messages of praise and denying Jewish concerns about his administration.
One of these, Torah Judaism, was indicated to actually be based in the Philippines rather than New York, before shifting to regional settings, so the account was registered as East Asia and the Pacific.
The region basing was shared by another in the network, Voice of Rabbis, which claims to be in the US and has almost 300,000 followers. Jewish Voice appears to be based in West Asia, and Torah Jews appear to have used a VPN to change the appearance of its location.
Some of the repetition on social media is plagiarism, with accounts cannibalizing the content of smaller followings with marginally successful posts. They often copy legacy media content, screenshotting and cropping to capitalize on the reporting of the legacy media that they were supposed to replace.
