The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts.

I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

We are also now starting to look with our lawyers at the BBC's whitewashing of trans existence. goodlaw.social/vfq2
