This doesn’t require the user to be able to block, it’s required that there is the ability to block a user from the system in general.

If it's an "in-app system" that the user doesn't have access to, what's the point of building it into the app at all?

The people running the service at the company don't use the app itself, they use dedicated internal tools that interact with the service.

They also clearly differentiate between reporting users and content, and requiring that the user be able to directly block them in the app, so I think it's pretty clear they're requiring direct blocking at the end user level.

Play Store looks pretty specific, an, "in-app system". I don't know how content moderation by administrators could be construed as, "in-app".
