Xto Pilot ‘About This Account’ Details to Curb Fake Engagement

The limited rollout is pitched as a trust feature following the removal of 1.7 million reply‑spam bots.

Overview

  • X’s test will surface profile signals such as join date, country or region, number of username changes, and how an account connects to the service.
  • The company says it will first show the new panel on a small set of employee profiles to gather feedback before any broader release.
  • Users will have privacy toggles to hide certain fields, though profiles will flag when these settings are used.
  • In locations where revealing a country could pose risks, X may substitute a broader region instead of a precise nation.
  • Elon Musk said feed improvements stem from greater use of Grok and other AI tools, with updated algorithms and model weights promised this week and a shift to full AI recommendations expected next month.
