X has launched a new "About This Account" feature, revealing the origins and username history of accounts, which is already exposing troll networks and surprising users globally, including in Kenya.

• The feature shows an account's original country/region and username changes.
• Initial discoveries include US political influencer accounts originating from countries like Russia and Nigeria.
• In Kenya, the popular Liverpool FC fan page, The Anfield Talk (with over 483,000 followers), was revealed to be run by Kenyans, not from the UK as previously perceived.
• The update follows an Amnesty International report alleging that the Kenyan government used social media, including X, to silence Gen Z protesters between June 2024 and July 2025.
