X/Twitter has announced plans to change its blocking tool. Under the new rule, blocked accounts will still be able to view a user's public posts, but they will not be able to interact with them. Currently, blocking prevents blocked users from both viewing and interacting with posts. This proposed change has raised concerns about safety and security, particularly for women. Critics argue that the feature is vital for protection against online abuse, and modifying it could leave vulnerable individuals more exposed to potential threats.
