It’s been announced that Xitter will start flagging up anyone who uses a VPN to access it! 🤬

Who cares?!?

Anyone with any sense uses a VPN so, frankly, if you aren't flagged as using a VPN (which I'm skeptical they can do anyhow), you're only outing yourself a naive...

Isn't this part of the flagging people who claim to be in location /country pushing a local agenda who are actually somewhere else ?

Yes, it's pretty funny seeing all the fake accounts getting exposed.

Never mind the MAGA-bots, who’s cheering for Frogface, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and their band of divisive racists?

Sounds like a good idea but suspect for those who are happy to be spreading whatever 'news' they consume, I suspect they won't care where it is coming from.

If they agree with it it'll be shared, whether it is homegrown or even real...
