#TwitterBlockChange

Musk proposes removing blocking feature, sparking safety concerns.

Origin & Impact

In August 2023, Elon Musk announced plans to eliminate Twitter’s block feature (except for DMs), arguing it “makes no sense.” Safety advocates, abuse survivors, and Apple’s App Store guidelines immediately pushed back. Blocking is fundamental to user safety and required by platform policies. After intense backlash, Musk quietly abandoned the proposal.
