Elon Musk says the feature 'makes no sense', but users are concerned about protection from abuse.
The blocking feature will be removed for users of X, formerly Twitter, Elon Musk has announced, claiming the feature "makes no sense".But many people on social media said it will make it hard for people to remove abusive posts from their timeline.
But there are concerns that muting an account would not be sufficient protection from cases of harassment, abuse or stalking. Removing a blocking feature could also potentially violate the terms and conditions of stores like Apple's App Store and Google Play. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, made a series of changes when he took over the social media site, including sacking the company's top executive team and introducing a charge for the site's "blue tick" - or verification - feature.
The block button is an established tool for those who feel attacked, bullied or simply want to shut out an account with whom they have a strong disagreement .
