X aka “Twitter” is set to scrap a feature that allows users to block unwelcome followers, with site owner Elon Musk arguing it “makes no sense”
It remains to be seen how the change will be implemented, as some significant app stores require a built-in blocking option.
Musk announced the upcoming change on Twitter – which is currently rebranding itself as X – in response to another user on Friday, who had asked whether there is “ever a reason to block vs. mute someone.”
“Block is going to be deleted as a ‘feature,’ except for DMs,” he said, quickly following up with, “It makes no sense.”
