Overview

  • Musk believes blocking "makes no sense" and will limit it to direct messages only.
  • Users argue blocking is essential to curb harassment, stalking, and unwanted content.
  • Muting accounts will still be possible, but it only hides someone's tweets.
  • Removing blocks could increase harmful speech and cause Twitter to violate app store rules.
  • The change is Musk's latest controversial tweak since acquiring Twitter in October 2022.
