X’s New Block Feature Sparks Privacy Concerns
X’s latest update to its block feature has stirred significant privacy debates. The change now allows blocked users to view public posts of the people who blocked them, even though they can't interact, follow, or message them. Previously, blocked users couldn't access these public posts or view followers/following lists, but the new update lifts these restrictions. Many users worry this could lead to potential harassment or invasion of privacy, as blocking was intended to limit unwanted attention. X claims the adjustment promotes transparency, suggesting that blocking was sometimes used to conceal content without accountability. However, critics argue that making accounts private should remain the primary method for securing posts, not diluting block features. This update has raised critical questions about privacy vs. transparency on social media. As user safety concerns grow, X's move is a notable shift in online privacy dynamics .
