TL;DR Summary

Elon Musk has suggested that Twitter should get rid of the block feature, which is an important tool for trust and safety efforts, and allows users to block someone from following them. Musk argues that blocking public posts makes no sense and that it needs to be deprecated in favor of a stronger form of mute. However, the block feature is an anti-harassment tool to help people avoid having stalkers, abusers, harassers, and the like being able to follow their every word without at least some level of friction. This move by Musk could make Twitter significantly less safe for a large segment of users.
