X transparency tool now names governments that force post limits

X is broadening its "Under the Hood" transparency feature to disclose when posts have been limited because of government pressure. The expansion means users will now see notices when content is downranked or withheld due to local laws or official demands, rather than only when posts are removed for other reasons.

According to TechCrunch, the tool will also identify the specific country responsible for the request. This adds a layer of accountability by making government actions that affect content visibility more visible to the public.

The move extends X's existing transparency efforts, though the source does not mention any other changes to how the tool works or when the expansion will roll out to all users.
