Elon Musk’s X has controversially altered the block feature, allowing blocked users to see posts from the accounts that blocked them, raising safety concerns.
Experts on social media abuse argue that these changes prioritize the interests of stalkers and trolls, diminishing the safety of their victims and potentially enabling further abuse.
The updates were justified by X as enhancing transparency since users can already see blocked accounts by switching to a non-blocked account, however, this reasoning has faced significant pushback.
The implications of this update might conflict with app guidelines as it introduces a dynamic that can be seen as harmful, especially to users facing harassment.
