CTOnews.com August 21 news, recently, Musk announced on X, will remove the platform's blocking function, leaving only the "hidden" function. The blocking function allows users to completely block the accounts they do not want to see, while the hiding feature only allows users not to see each other's content, but the other party can still see the user's content.

Musk said the blocking function was "pointless" and mocked users who opposed his decision on X, saying: "it's interesting to block people who complain about unblocking. How does this medicine taste?"

Musk's decision caused dissatisfaction and protest from many users, especially some celebrities. Actor James Woods said that without the blocking function, he might be forced to leave the X platform because he could not stop some harassment and political attacks. "if Musk removes the blocking, what's the difference between platform X and Jack Dorsey's scary Twitter? Musk, whom I once supported, did it just to protect his advertisers. The users of platform X were just used to turn the site into an e-mall. I thought he was a defender of freedom of expression, but he turned out to be another greedy capitalist. Disappointing, but not surprising."

Musk did not respond to the criticism of Woods and others, nor did he disclose the specific time and reason for the removal of the blocking function. CTOnews.com notes that shielding is still available on the X platform, but doesn't know how much longer it will last.
