Etiquetas de país de origem chegam aos perfis públicos do X de Musk em breve
Musk acelera transparência geográfica na rede social
Identificação digital ganha nova camada de dados
O X está prestes a adicionar uma funcionalidade que vai deixar os reguladores de privacidade europeus de cabelos em pé - etiquetas de país de origem em perfis públicos. A mudança chega como mais uma jogada na transformação da plataforma sob o comando do bilionário.
Transparência ou vigilância?
Os usuários terão suas localizações geográficas exibidas publicamente, levantando questões sobre privacidade versus autenticidade. A medida promete combater contas falsas e operações de influência estrangeira, mas também expõe dados sensíveis de milhões.
Integração técnica avança rapidamente
Engenheiros do X trabalham na implementação que usa múltiplos pontos de dados para determinar a origem - desde endereços IP até histórico de login. O sistema promete precisão, mas especialistas em segurança digital já alertam para possíveis brechas.
Impacto no ecossistema digital
A mudança pode redefinir como interagimos nas redes sociais, criando novas dinâmicas de confiança e verificação. Para investidores de crypto, é mais um sinal de como os dados se tornaram a verdadeira moeda global - mesmo que os reguladores tradicionais ainda estejam tentando entender o conceito.
Enquanto governos discutem regulamentação, Musk simplesmente implementa. A estratégia? Pedir desculpas depois sempre foi mais barato que pedir permissão antes.
Head of product reveals new feature comes with privacy exceptions
When asked if X would also show which device a post originated from, a feature that existed during Jack Dorsey’s Twitter tenure, Bier confirmed the team is discussing the idea. “We’re experimenting with various device details for users to form judgements on authenticity,” he wrote.
When you read content on X, you should be able to verify its authenticity. This is critical to getting a pulse on important issues happening in the world.
As part of that, we're experimenting with displaying new information on profiles, including which country an account is… pic.twitter.com/OYgT1OiJdA

Some users asked whether displaying a country of origin could expose individuals to legal or political risks, particularly in areas like the UK, which have protection laws. Bier noted the concerns, saying there would be “privacy toggles” for users to manage visibility.
“There will be privacy toggles. However, if a user configures them, that will likely be highlighted on their profile,” he added, suggesting that opting out may itself be visible to others. “In EU countries where speech can have penalties, we should substitute country for region—to preserve their right of free expression.”
Elon Musk and X are contesting new child safety rules in Australia, urging regulators to delay implementation of a law banning children under 16 from using social media platforms starting December 10. The company said obligations should begin at least six months after the release of regulatory guidelines, which were issued only this month.
Australia’s eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, wrote to more than a dozen tech firms earlier this month to clarify how they plan to comply with the upcoming restrictions.
Grant said she does not intend to pursue enforcement actions immediately in December but will instead monitor for “systemic failures” to comply with the new rules. Under the legislation, companies that fail to meet compliance requirements could face fines of up to $50 million.
In the list of upcoming updates, Bier also mentioned synced drafts, where users can access unposted drafts saved on the mobile app from the web interface, which will launch soon after being absent for nearly 10 years.
Denmark’s police move away from X due to misinformation
Outside corporate headquarters, X is facing setbacks in Denmark, where local and national police forces have announced they will no longer issue operational messages on X. Instead, they will share updates through the Danish news wire Ritzau and their official websites.
“We are pleased to have this partnership with the police,” Ritzau’s CEO Jacob Kwon said in a statement. “It is a natural extension of the business model we stand for, that news desks across the country can get quick access to important information.”
Danish police have been using X for quick updates about ongoing incidents and emergencies, but algorithms and misinformation, according to Danish authorities, have forced them to reclaim direct control of their messaging. Several media outlets, including DR, Ritzau, and Journalisten, have already quit X.
“The important thing for the police was to communicate directly with news desks, and they can do that on the Ritzau platform,” Kwon said.
René Gyldensten, head of communications for the National Police, told newspaper Børsen earlier this year that misinformation problems on the platform have made it almost entirely unreliable for official communication.
