This shift was first noticed by independent app researcher Nima Owji, to which Musk responded, saying, “It’s high time this happened.” Musk has been vocal about his belief that the block feature is ineffective, preferring stronger mute options instead. However, it remains unclear when this change will officially roll out, as it has not yet been implemented despite Musk’s earlier promises.
Musk maintains that blocking should still apply to direct messages to prevent unwanted contact, but he argues that the current block function on public posts can be easily bypassed by viewing tweets in incognito mode or through alternate accounts.
This change has sparked concerns among users, especially those who rely on blocking to protect themselves from harassment or unwanted attention. Some users fear that the ability for blocked accounts to still see their posts could compromise their safety and well-being. One user pointed out, “This could put some of us in danger! If I can’t block acts that harass people, this is BS!” Another emphasized the need to carefully consider the consequences of removing this protective feature.
