X, formerly Twitter, will allow all public posts to be visible even to blocked accounts. The microblogging site will make posts of the users visible to individuals blocked by the user.
X owner Elon Musk said, “block function will block that account from engaging with, but not block seeing, public posts.”
When you try to view the profile of a person who has blocked you, X displays "You're blocked" and also you will be prevented from seeing their replies, followers and following list.
The person can still be able to see the person's post who have blocked them but they will not be able to interact with them.
Elon Musk has talked about his dislike of the block button. He said that the feature "makes no sense" and "it needs to be deprecated in favor of a strong form of mute."
