The geographic description offered in the article is interesting to me... well, except for Columbia who knows what's going on there - it sounds like this may actually have been a legitimate tool accident since American Indigenous peoples and Palestinians are likely to register as existing in one nation and then frequently border hop in quick succession. If an automatic tool saw tweets from a certain user coming from IP Addresses in Australia and the UK interleaved during the same day it might mark that activity as spoofing - the palestinian border is incredibly complicated so I would be amazed if some users didn't constantly bounce back and forth during a daily commute. Indigenous communities are probably in a similar situation - they might have a cell tower or two marked as being within the rez with several other surrounding ones being marked as being in america proper and, due to hills, trees and whatever - their phone constantly bounces back and forth between the two.
