READING:

Elon Musk will remove the blocking feature from X, formerly known as Twitter. He said users will no longer be able to block comments from anyone. X users will be unable to stop people contacting or following them or from seeing their posts. People will be able to block direct messages. Musk said blocking comments "makes no sense". The change is the latest in Musk's redesign of X. Others include a name and logo change.

Many X users are angry. They believe blocking helps to keep people safe from hateful comments. The CEO of a crypto-currency company said Musk should focus on making X safer and easier to use. He said: "X should really solve the bots and spam problems before removing blocks." Another critic said no blocking could discourage the free speech of users who are the targets of bullies. Another critic said people must be able to block abuse.
