In Today's Talker, users of X -- formerly known as Twitter -- will no longer be able to block other accounts.

According to Elon Musk, block is going to be deleted as a feature, except for direct messages.

Blocking prevents that user from interacting with an account, such as following them or seeing a post.

The mute feature keeps the individual user from seeing the undesired responses.

It is unclear when the block feature will be removed, but users fear that it will result in an increase in harassment on the social media platform.
