As per AiCoin, on November 23, X (formerly Twitter) launched a new feature that allows users to view the IP location of an account by clicking on the 'Joined' date. The feature, intended to combat fake accounts and impersonators, has been widely adopted by the Chinese crypto and Web3 communities as a tool to verify the authenticity of project teams. Many projects claiming to be overseas-based were exposed as having IP addresses traced to China, leading to a surge in skepticism and calls for greater transparency. While praised as a 'counter-scam' tool, concerns have also emerged over privacy risks and potential data misuse. The IP feature is seen as a step toward reshaping trust on social platforms, though users are advised to take measures to protect their own IP information.
