X, formerly Twitter, is rolling out a change to its blocking feature. Starting now, people you've blocked will still be able to view your public posts and following/followers lists. This decision aims for "greater transparency," according to X's engineering account. However, this update may make it easier for blocked users to harass others without their knowledge. Critics argue that friction in blocking is important and that the change aligns with app store guidelines. The updated block function will still disable interactions between the blocker and the blocked user.
