X Will Strip Ability to Block Accounts – Elon Musk

The block function on X allows a user to restrict specific accounts from contacting them, seeing their posts or following them.

"Block is going to be deleted as a 'feature', except for DMs," Musk said in a post on the social media platform formally known as Twitter, referring to direct messages.

However, some eagle-eyed users noted Apple and Google both include language that suggests social networking apps need a block feature to be hosted on the stores.

Will X users need to prepare for a flood of spammers, scammers, haters and doxxers in your reply timeline? 🤔
