Musk to Kill Block Feature on X

The security feature will disappear in December

The block feature of X, formerly known as Twitter, as we know it is about to be no more, CEO Elon Musk stated Monday on the social media site.

Musk confirmed the change in a reply to Nima Owji, a web developer who first reported the news.

Since its inception, the block feature on Twitter, X’s former moniker, allowed users to prevent individuals from viewing or engaging with their public posts. With the change, blocked accounts will be able to view the blocker’s posts once again, but cannot engage with the content via likes, replies, reposts or direct messages. Last year, Musk actually threatened to kill all features of the block, save for a blocked user being able to DM the blocker.
