X will now make your posts visible to users you\u2019ve blocked. In a reply on Monday<\/a>, X owner Elon Musk said the \u201cblock function will block that account from engaging with, but not block seeing, public post.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Currently, X displays a \u201cYou\u2019re blocked\u201d message when trying to view the profile of a person who\u2019s blocked you. In addition to blocking all posts, it also prevents you from seeing their replies, media, followers, and following list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n While a source at X told The Verge<\/em> that the platform is making this change because people can already view posts from users who\u2019ve blocked them when using another account or when logged out, several of us at The Verge <\/em>(myself included) have noticed that X actually prevents you from viewing someone\u2019s profile if you\u2019re logged out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Even though X\u2019s block button will continue to prevent someone from interacting with a person\u2019s posts, they\u2019ll still be able to see them, potentially making it easier for bad actors to continue harassing<\/a> their victims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
