so they'll pay for VPNs/Proxies with residential IPs in their desired location.

heck twitter will probably later offer you an option to buy it themselves or an option to set your desired location if you just pay for X++ premium bot services.

I assume most accounts getting exposed now basically started with the assumption that this info would not be exposed publicly, but they will adapt.

So this is like a one time shot of transparency, that will quickly be useless (although I’ve been hearing it has been rolled back already - some speculation is because it exposed that the majority of MAGA boosters were not US based)

Some sort of mdl scheme where people can verify their location without disclosing their entire identity would be nice.

No, it exposed the groypers and racists masquerading as MAGA or conservatives who are from foreign countries.

I believe Twitter shows if account uses vpn

How would you know a residential ip vpn is a vpn? Twitter won’t.
