The days of the “@[insert username] blocked you” page appear to be over as X owner Elon Musk announced a new change to the platform’s blocking feature, allowing blocked users to see posts of the accounts that blocked them. While blocked accounts still won’t be able to interact with those accounts, they will now be able to see their posts. A source from X revealed that this new blocked access feature is being implemented because users can already see and interact with accounts that have blocked them by switching to a non-blocked account. Musk has been wanting to disable the block feature on X for a while now, expressing his disdain for blocking on the platform over a year ago. Last May, X’s Engineering account announced it would implement the blocked viewer change to the platform to give users with blocked accounts the ability to “identify and report any potential bad content that you previously could not view.”
