Ammon News - Social media platform X has released an update that enables individuals you've blocked to view your posts and list of followers. As per the company, if your posts are public, blocked accounts can view but cannot engage with your posts, per X.

Blocking on X allows users to manage their interactions with other accounts by preventing specific accounts from following, sending direct messages, or engaging with them.

The tech billionaire Elon Musk has previously stated that it is illogical to prevent people from viewing your public posts.

X is currently implementing its divisive update to the blocking feature, granting individuals the ability to view your public posts despite being blocked.

X stated that accounts that have been blocked by you are unable to follow you, and you are also unable to follow an account that you have blocked. If you block an account you're following, they will automatically unfollow you (and vice versa). If you choose to unblock an account, you must then proceed to follow it again.

In the meantime, software developer Tracy Zhu has developed an application that enables users to automatically block others, acknowledging that even if users can circumvent the block by making new accounts, communication remains crucial.

The blocking feature on the social network allows users to both share and conceal harmful or private information about someone. Nevertheless, individuals have raised concerns about the alteration.
