I saw Nikita mention that X will flag account locations in order to be transparent around a poster's origin [0] which is a step in the right direction, though abandoning the creator program altogether more so.

Nikita has had a rough couple of weeks. Targeted with the most vile antisemitism I've seen after attempting to get doxxing campaigns under control. That is hard to do when your boss is overriding every decision you make.

I'm not sure X is salvageable at this point. The internet's town square is starting to look at lot like a 1930s German beer hall.
