Elon Musk's microblogging network X is undergoing significant adjustments in comparison to what Twitter previously gave its users. Now, in the most recent update, Elon Musk has stated that users would be able to see the posts of other users that they have blocked. According to Elon Musk, the block feature prevents the account from engaging with but not seeing the public post.
Currently, if someone blocks you, you will see a 'You're blocked' notification when you try to open their profile. Not only that, but the site prevents you from viewing any activities, including replies, media, followers, and following lists.
According to the Verge, citing a source, the network is making the change because users may already see postings from restricted individuals while using different accounts or logging out.
Elon Musk has been open about his beliefs, which include the hate and block buttons. The tech billionaire claimed that the feature made no sense and should be retired in favour of a more powerful type of silence. Users will now be able to see the postings of other users that they have blocked.
Musk has made several new changes including the addition of bigger posts, uploading long-term video, monetisation, premium subscription and even more.

Meanwhile, Musk criticised Google and Microsoft over the alleged biases. “Google & Microsoft very disproportionately donate to the Democratic Party. Between them, they control close to 100% of web browsers and search. Even with the best of intentions, they can’t help but introduce bias,” he said in a tweet.
