Elon Musk Alters X's Block Feature, Allowing Blocked Users to View Public Posts

The new policy change will prevent blocked users from engaging but not from seeing public posts, sparking backlash over privacy and safety concerns.

Elon Musk confirmed that X will allow blocked users to view public posts, though they will not be able to interact with them.
This change marks a significant shift from the current block functionality, which prevents blocked users from seeing any posts or followers of the blocker.
Musk has long criticized the block feature, advocating instead for a stronger mute option.
The decision has been met with widespread criticism, with many users and privacy advocates expressing concerns over increased harassment and safety risks.
It is unclear when the update will be rolled out, and X has not provided a timeline or responded to user feedback on the matter.
