VIDEO | Controversy erupts after new X feature allegedly lists DHS account as based in Tel Aviv
When X (formerly Twitter) launched its “About This Account” feature showing where accounts are based, videos and screenshots circulated online, claiming the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) account was based in Tel Aviv, Israel.
X’s product lead, Nikita Bier, responded to users by calling the reports “fake news”, claiming that the location data was incorrect for a “very small subset of old accounts,” attributing the error to changing IP ranges, and corrected the account to show “United States.”
However, the sudden appearance of such a high-profile government account in a foreign location raises questions about the reliability of the feature and the transparency of account management.
While no evidence so far confirms any physical presence outside the US, the incident highlights how easily location data can be misrepresented, or manipulated, on digital platforms, leaving the public to weigh official reassurances against unexplained anomalies.
