X confirmed the rollout of country labels for all profiles in November 2025, while also allowing users to opt out of the system. In late November, memes in which X users accuse each other of secretly being based in developing countries began making the rounds online, with "Account based in India" becoming a notable point of mockery online, as seen in campaigns against X users like @ysmammri and @VividProwess.

Side note: Weirdly, as this story is spreading, Knowyourmeme.com is one of the most credible sources I can find on it. Rawstory and Hindustan Times and a few others copied the same exaggerated claims. None had great track records for credibility.
