It seems Elon Musk could win against a blue bird, if the bird was paid to take a dive.
Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter may soon go through

"It makes no sense", Musk says of the block function while banning whoever disagrees with him on anything.
I believe I hear a stampede of Elon stans rushing to tell you that banning isn't the same as blocking.
I mean, *he* has people blocked, it's just that he can't understand why somebody would block *him*
So if I've got this straight, if someone is harassing you on X (Twitter), it's Elon Musk's decision whether you have to put up with them rather than your own?
I wonder why it is that all these organisations think X (Twitter) is increasingly unsafe for its own users.

Not really, because there's still mute. In Twitter terms, mute is the function that just makes it so you never see a person. Block makes it so you don't have to see their content and they can't see yours.
I wish Travis was real and have this reason you suck speech, and say it to Elon Musk and Trump.

Turns out Musk is a lying charlatan only interested in padding his own account and getting his cult to suck up to him even more.
Who knew?
Anyone with two brain cells who have more than a passing familiarity with each other?
So turns out, shocker of shocker, Musk is fully of shit and is either lying, or a complete idiot or both. Removing the Block feature from a Social media app is against the terms and conditions of hosting an app on both the Google Play store, and iTunes. So if he goes forward with his idea, it may see Twitter removed from mobile devices.
Legally speaking its really tricky, because if they give Elon a pass, then other creators can sue, claiming they deserve a pass, and then the Government has to step in and talk about equal business practices. It'd be a total mess.
The mute feature does what is required by those app stores. It allows you to remove the content you don't want to see from your feed and not receive correspondence from people you don't want to hear from.
The Twitter block feature is actually rather unique, as it currently exists. Social media platforms have ways to make it so you don't have to see or hear from other users of your choice. And most give users the ability to make posts private, so that only specific accounts can see it. Twitter is the only platform I'm aware of with a tool that lets you make it so only specific users can't see your posts. No app store requires social media apps to give users that ability. Youtube doesn't have that, nor does it have a feature named "block", it just has the ability to hide channels, and that obviously meets Google Play's terms.
