X owner Musk annoyed many prominent social media users on Friday with his proposal of removing the 'block' function from the popular website.
Prominent social media users voiced strong disapproval towardsElon Musk after he announced the company was working on removing the"block" feature for the site formerly known as Twitter.
Elon Musk stirred controversy on the X social media platform Friday for claiming he would remove the"block" feature. Musk replied to the account’s post directly, posting,"Block is going to be deleted as a ‘feature’, except for DMs." Conservative commentator Buck Sexton disagreed with Musk’s proposal, posting,"Blocking is one of the most important features on this site. Otherwise, it just turns into an echo chamber of harassment from the most vile idiots."
Countering the point made that muting does the same job as blocking in effect, the activist added,"All muting does is stop me from seeing people’s posts. They’re free to reply."
