The only way to protect yourself from trolls and stalkers on X - Hypertext
htxt.co.za
X users will need to make their account private if they want to remain safe from trolls and stalkers.
  • X is telling users that blocking will soon be useless and trolls and stalkers will soon be able to see their posts again.
  • Instead of blocking, X advises that users take their account private, the antithesis to what X and its progenitor Twitter was about.
  • This removal of blocking may violate Apple and Google’s policies regarding platforms that host user generated content.
