Total non story and even the "Tweet" mentioning it from Elon Musk was deleted last night apparently.

I literally blocked some guy who was crying about his rights as a disabled American earlier.

Thoughts?

Sorry, I don't use Twitter, so I am unable to comment.

Nothing, except when they spend ALL their time on Twitter crying about "access" issues... I sympathise but I have my own worries without that.

The block function is a good function to get rid of people who don't know their limits or decide to bother you with their lack of empathy.
But for messages such as this, I'd rather wait for an official update to confirm it; but then again, Musk has been known to push some spontaneous
ad hoc decisions to the platform.

You do get some nasty people on Twitter though. The block button is supposed to keep people safe from nasty messages and posts. I don't care about all this "snowflake" bs that people in favor of the removal come out with. As someone who has been cyberbullied quite a fair bit I really do see the importance of keeping the block function.

I'm not gonna sit here and say what kind of content you should block, I mean... If you don't want to see someones content that's up to you. That's while you have that freedom that is

I would probably cry if I had that choice/freedom taken away from me too to be fair

I've not worried about twitter for about 3 years. Due to being banned because I told Derbyshire police to string a serial paedophile up.

To be fair that is pretty bad, I got a 7 day exile a while back for a LOT less.
