On Feb. 17, they will be extended to Group of Seven countries, as well as to a majority of countries that Twitter has attributed state-linked information operations to.

The complete list is: Canada, Cuba, Ecuador, Egypt, Germany, Honduras, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Spain, Thailand, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
