That was my first thought, "we need to check where these accounts are based".
When did they remove the ability to check account nationality? Losing that is a pretty bad step backwards, both for discourse as well as for pruning bots.
Maybe, but I wonder how much financial pull the jeets represent in that equation. They've got the raw numbers to exert some level of influence, but would pissing them all off actually represent any sort of genuine financial risk to twitter?

I agree: It's entirely pressure from the groups positively identified, that they were identified, to not be identified.

It was removed exactly because of those reasons. It showed just how fake the internet has become.
