Elon Musk announces changes to the blocking function: blocked users will be able to view posts from accounts that have blocked them

X owner Elon Musk has announced a change to the blocking feature that will allow blocked users to view posts from accounts that have blocked them.

Here's What We Know

From now on, blocked users will not be able to interact with accounts, but will be able to see their posts.

According to The Verge, the new feature was initiated because users already have the ability to view and interact with accounts that block them, and use unblocked accounts.

Musk has repeatedly spoken out against the blocking feature on X. More than a year ago, he said that he considered blocking "pointless" and expressed his intention to remove the feature.

In May, X's engineering account announced that the change would be implemented, but no specific implementation dates were announced.

The purpose of the innovation is to provide blocked users with the ability to identify and report potentially dangerous content that was previously inaccessible to them.
