Musk triggered fresh outrage after announcing X would eliminate its “block” feature.
Musk commented on X’s uncertain future came even as Threads, the rival text-based social media platform launched by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta last month, prepared to roll out a web version in its latest effort to lure users.
The X owner, who is worth an estimated $225.5 billion, infuriated users last Friday by revealing they would no longer be allowed to block accounts, except in the case of direct messages. The move triggered immediate pushback, with Monica Lewinsky among those who urged Musk and X CEO Linda Yaccarino to reconsider nixing the feature.We may fail, as so many have predicted, but we will try our best to make there be at least one.“Please rethink removing the block feature. as an anti-bullying activist i can assure you it’s a critical tool to keep people safe online,” Lewinsky said.
