X is removing the current block option from posts, meaning blocked users will see public posts, which raises significant privacy concerns for users.
As outlined by app researcher Nima Owji, users will retain the ability to block accounts from their profiles, but this does not prevent blocked users from seeing public posts.
App Store and Google Play Store require a blocking option. X's attempts to revise blocking measures may violate these requirements and impact user privacy.
Elon Musk noted that large block lists disrupt recommendation systems and create security risks, demonstrating a shift in platform strategy toward more openness.
