In the statement made on X’s official account, it was announced that there will be changes in the feature of blocking users.

According to the change, people who are blocked by a user whose profile is not private will see the posts of that user, but will not be able to interact such as liking or commenting on the posts.

“The blocking feature can be used by users to share harmful or private information about people they have blocked,” the statement said, adding that this innovation would increase “transparency” on the platform.

Users concerned about who might see their posts were advised to “hide” their accounts.

It is known that American billionaire Elon Musk, who bought the platform in 2022, has criticized the “blocking feature” since then.

The change may violate App Store and Google Play terms

In the news in the media, it was emphasized that any change in X could lead to a violation of the terms of the App Store and Google Play.

Among the terms and conditions of these platforms is that social media apps must offer users the ability to filter out “harassment or bullying.” However, these platforms have not yet made a statement regarding the issue.
