Beginning of the end: how Elon Musk’s removal of the block function on X could trigger its hellish demise

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, August 22, 2023

On Saturday, X (formerly Twitter) chairman Elon Musk tweeted he would be removing the microblogging platform’s block function.

Key Points: 
  • On Saturday, X (formerly Twitter) chairman Elon Musk tweeted he would be removing the microblogging platform’s block function.
  • Why does Musk want to block the block function?

Why block the ‘block’?

    • Simply, the block function on X prevents one user from interacting with another.
    • With the click of a button, the blocker can deny another user the ability to read their tweets or reshare their content.
    • He has also condemned campaigns among users to block subscribers paying for a Twitter Blue subscription (which grants them perks such as a blue tick beside their name and the ability to edit posts).
    • The likelihood of skirmishes is reduced when “players” can block one another.

What would the consequences be?

    • Blocking provides some very tangible benefits, helping users (especially high-profile ones) do anything from avoiding harassment to simply cleaning up spam in their replies.
    • According to the Centre for Countering Digital Hate, X “fails to act on 99% of hate posted by Twitter Blue subscribers”.
    • Musk has disputed the findings and filed a lawsuit against the group (an action that sits uneasily alongside his free-speech absolutism).

What happens beyond the block?

    • Further, both the Apple Store and Google Play have guidelines stipulating that platforms hosting user-generated content must allow the blocking of other users.
    • Removing this capacity might lead to the app stores dropping X, which could spell economic death for the platform.
    • Or he may argue a stronger form of mute fulfils the same requirements as the block function.
