interesting approach to have it be PPP adjusted. i wonder how they'll prevent people from high income countries faking they're in a lower income one.

I assume it would be possible via the identity check/payment processor?

Identify with a document issued in country x...? You pay the price adjusted for that country, regardless of your IP geolocation.

Indeed that is an approach that would work but would people trust Twitter with that data just to give you a checkmark? Or even bother trying to find their ID / passport? Feels super high-friction and questionable from a privacy perspective for such a minor product.
