We don't usually say everything Elon Musk does on Twitter, because they are usually things he says to say and look good to Twitter Blue subscribers. He doesn't usually do them, possibly because he is convinced that they are not good ideas, or that it is not possible to do them. This time he wants to remove the button to block people on Twitter. oh and we refuse to call the social network you bought X, because everything indicates that it will have registration problems because a single letter cannot be registered as a trademark, as explained by the CEO of the XE currency calculation website, because he already tried to register X as a trademark.
Going back to Elon Musk, his latest idea for Twitter is to remove the block people button. He has said it in response to a Twitter Blue user, with which we take it as another of his ideas as a bullfighter firefighter that will not turn out to be true. And it is that he cannot do it because of the security problems that he represents.
Elon should keep the block button on Twitter for safety
First of all, removing the block button would allow stalkers, spammers and hate mailers to not be limited by users. Blocking is the final measure for many people if they see that they are receiving hate, or spam. The latter has been very popular with people on Twitter, who regularly receive messages from bots with promises like part-time jobs from home that turn out to be pyramid scams. Removing the block button would cause a lot of people to receive these messages. Although Elon says that the blocking would prevent direct messages, but not so that a person can pry into an account in order to get information, among other cases of abuse that could happen.
But shortly after that message from Elon became notorious, the community notes have appeared to provide context. This tool to avoid misinformation has turned against the owner. It turns out that, although you can do it, it would imply that you stop operating in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. And those two are the biggest distributors of the mobile app. And for many people, it's the only way to connect to the internet.
It would also be necessary to see if this would breach the rules of regulatory bodies in certain territories, such as the European Union or United States. In short, surely We will still be able to block people on Twitter for harassing us., send spam, or simply because we do not want to see its content because our contacts always share it. The block button on Twitter stays.
