The account on the platform formerly known as Twitter impersonated Japan’s top currency diplomat.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Japan’s finance ministry has called on X, formerly known as Twitter, to take down an account impersonating its top currency diplomat Masato Kanda.
Mr Kanda is a key figure in efforts by the world third largest economy to stabilise the value of the yen.
Mr Kanda is an influential voice amongst Japan’s monetary policy makers.
The account, which was followed by around 550 users, had not made comments on the yen or financial markets, according to the Reuters news agency.
There had been five posts on the account, with the most recent appearing to impersonate Mr Kanda’s trip to Ukraine earlier this week, the agency reported.
The yen has long been seen as a safe haven in the global financial markets, which investors traditionally bought at times of crisis.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
“X Account” thanks i hate it
No mention of the most important detail in the article. Did they request to control/replace the account or did the do as directed by the head twit and X the account. X is no better than the nonsense Trump tried to make, MyMoscow, FaceFascist, Brighton, or whatever it was called. It’s the top pick from the Taliban though, so there’s a win for the blood emerald African space Karen.
The same thing happened to the German foreign minister: Berliner Zeitung
Right-wing hate “Parody”.
