Elon Musk Sparks Backlash with Plans to Remove Block Feature from X
  • 8 months ago
Elon Musk sparked controversy when he hinted at removing the block feature from his platform, X, formerly known as Twitter. This announcement triggered responses from users, including conservative actor James Woods, who threatened to leave the platform if the feature is eliminated. Musk's response to Woods was direct and dismissive, suggesting he should "delete your account." Woods criticized Musk's motives, asserting that removing the block feature would turn X into a commercialized space prioritizing advertisers over users' free speech. Others also expressed concerns about losing the ability to block users, citing the importance of the feature in maintaining a positive user experience. Removing the block feature might lead to legal challenges, as it could violate the terms of service for major app distribution platforms like the App Store and Google Play Store, potentially resulting in X being banned from those platforms.
