Elon Musk has revealed that the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is moving to remove the protection feature that allows users to block other accounts, in another controversial move for the company that bought it last year. The block feature on the "X" platform allows any user to prevent certain accounts from communicating with him, seeing his posts, or following him.

Musk explained, "The ban will be canceled as a feature, with the exception of direct messages," pointing out that "the X platform will maintain the mute feature that removes the tweets of certain accounts, but unlike the ban, it does not inform those accounts of this procedure."
