Key Points

Elon Musk-owned social media giant X (formerly Twitter) will now show blocked users posts from the person they've been blocked by, but they won't be able to engage with those posts..

In contrast, under the current system, blocked users only receive a 'you're blocked' message when they try to view the profile of someone they have been blocked by..

With the new change, while users will still have the peace of mind of not interacting with such users, the blocked accounts will be able to see past and new posts of the said user. ..

While Musk's dislike for the block button has been public for some time, people have wondered why the billionaire would have problems with such a simple feature that is a staple of all social media platforms..

However, since Musk took over Twitter, he has made sweeping changes to the social media platform to make it a "public town square".. 3.6 Crore Indians visited in a single day choosing us as India's undisputed platform for General Election Results..
