Elon Musk claims the "block" function of X will be eliminated since it "makes no sense."
Elon Musk, the founder of X (formerly known as Twitter), declared that the social media platform's "block" feature will be eliminated for users since it "makes no sense."
Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly known as Twitter), has said that the blocking option would be removed for users since it "makes no sense." Users will nevertheless be able to prevent other users from texting them directly.
Musk has made a lot of changes since purchasing the website in a $44 billion acquisition last year, and this is just one of them.
Currently, blocking an account prohibits posts from that account from showing up on the blocker's timeline and vice versa. The banned account also loses the ability to read the postings and send messages to the blocker.
It's interesting to note that Musk's approach was supported by Jack Dorsey, the former creator of Twitter, who tweeted "100%. Mute only." Some people have expressed worry that muting an account could not offer enough defence against harassment, abuse, or stalking.
Although the mute function currently only mutes notifications regarding the account's postings, the muted account may still view and react to the muter's posts.
One user called Musk's choice a "huge mistake," pointing out that the network is filled with "toxic people" that users just do not want to contact with in any way. The removal of the blocking tool could also be in violation of the policies of app shops like Apple's App Store and Google Play, which demand that social networking applications have filters to prevent harassment and bullying. It's feasible that these sites would stop offering X for download in such a situation.
The world's richest man, Elon Musk, has changed the social media platform in a number of ways since assuming control of it. This involves the firing of the company's senior executives and the imposition of a fee for the "blue tick" on the website.
