New Twitter Blocking Policy Gives Users More Control Over Interactions and Reporting Inappropriate Content

Twitter has recently updated its account blocking policy, giving users more control over their interactions with others on the platform. Previously, when a user blocked another account, the blocked account could still respond to the user’s posts, but the user couldn’t see those responses. Now, however, Twitter has made it possible for users to view responses from accounts they have previously blocked.

The aim of this update is to give users greater visibility into any inappropriate content that was previously hidden from them. Twitter’s goal is to provide users with control over their experience while maintaining public visibility of posts. This feature will help users identify and report any problematic behavior or content that they encounter online.

While some may argue that the blocking feature removes unwanted contact and views, it can also be seen as an impediment to free speech. However, Twitter Engineering emphasized the importance of allowing users to control their experience while still having access to the public forum. It is important for users to have control over their interactions with others and be able to report any inappropriate content that they encounter online. The updated blocking feature is a step towards providing users with greater control over their digital experiences on Twitter and beyond.
