X will let people you’ve blocked see your posts

X will now make your posts visible to users you’ve blocked. In a reply on Monday, X owner Elon Musk said the “block function will block that account from engaging with, but not block seeing, public post.”

Currently, X displays a “You’re blocked” message when trying to view the profile of a person who’s blocked you. In addition to blocking all posts, it also prevents you from seeing their replies, media, followers, and following list.

While a source at X told IMR that the platform is making this change because people can already view posts from users who’ve blocked them when using another account or when logged out, several of us at IMR (myself included) have noticed that X actually prevents you from viewing someone’s profile if you’re logged out.

Even though X’s block button will continue to prevent someone from interacting with a person’s posts, they’ll still be able to see them, potentially making it easier for bad actors to continue harassing their victims.
