Elon Musk announced on Friday that the social media platform X would remove a function that lets users block posts from particular accounts.
According to Musk’s post, the option would still be available for “direct messages” between users of the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Block is going to be deleted as a feature, except for DMs,” Musk stated.
The feature is used to limit platform interaction with particular accounts. Musk has frequently cited his changes as being driven by a desire for free speech and criticized what he sees as the threat that changing cultural sensitivities pose to free expression.
The Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) claims that hate speech has become more prevalent on the platform.
