X is rolling out its controversial update to the block feature, allowing people to view your public posts even if you have blocked them. People have protested this change, arguing that they don’t want blocked users to see their posts for reasons of safety.

Blocked users still can’t follow the person who has blocked them, engage with their posts, or send direct messages to them.

An old version of X’s support page says blocked users couldn’t see a user’s following and followers lists. The company has now updated the page to remove that reference, and it now allows users to see the following and followers lists of the people who have blocked them.

    It’s fucking weird that this is what drives people away from the Nazi bar.

    If a logged-out user can see something… logged-in users should also be able to see it. Because they could just log out.
