Many of the MAGA influencers outed as living in countries like Nigeria and Bangladesh have since vanished from X.
The users, who had over a million followers between them, had their country of origin exposed over the weekend as part of a new X feature that now shows where accounts were created and how their owners downloaded the social platform’s app.
Four prominent accounts unmasked by the feature—DarkMAGA, MagaScope, WilliamAlbrech, and IvankaNews_—now show as being “suspended” for violating “X rules,” though it is unclear which. X’s website says it bars users who pretend to be someone they are not—something all the accounts appear to be guilty of.



If only we could go back to the halcyon days of twenty years ago, when people were not influenced by talkshow hosts, athletes hawking household goods, and tabloids breathlessly reporting on actors and socialites.
