X's Under the Hood tool now discloses country-specific post restrictions

X has updated its Under the Hood transparency feature to show users when their posts or accounts have had visibility limited due to legal requests from specific governments. The tool now identifies which country requested the restriction and which posts were affected, alongside existing data on account labels and algorithmic treatment. Access requires an account to be over a year old with at least ten posts in the previous month.
