Community Notes jumped on that tweet fast:

If the ability to block users was to be removed, X would be in violation of the policies of the App Store as well as the Google Play Store. Potentially, this could lead to X being removed from these platforms.

Pfft, good. I'm sure Musk's response will be "wah, wah, they censor me, wah, wah". Because out of any playbook of republicunt, is to proclaim you're being censored when you're breaking the rules and think free speech applies to just you and your allies.

I wonder how much "EARN MONEY FREE" spam it'd take for them to realize blocking is a very desirable and needed feature for such a big platform.

X is in violation of the App store's naming guidelines. They still managed to shove it through.
