Grimes doesn't seem to agree with Elon Musk's plans to remove the block feature from X.
After the tech mogul announced his intentions to remove the option from the platform, Grimes took to her account to share her thoughts.
Her post came in response to a user who shared their personal experience with a stalker and shared how much of a relief it was when she was able to block them.
They wrote: "I once had a stalker who sent me unhinged messages on a bunch of platforms, where I blocked him. But Reddit didn't allow blocking. I could mute him, but that just made his messages invisible to me. And sometimes he was like, 'I'm coming to find you,' so I couldn't afford that."
"This is why blocking is important," the user added. "Revoking access to you from terrifying people is really important. I know it's not *perfect* of course, but at scale, even little things are effective. I can't afford the level of security Elon has. If I did, then I probably would care less!"
Grimes responded to the message and said, "[Yeah], blocking should be allowed," noting that it would be "dangerous" to remove "for anyone who deals with stalkers."
So far, Elon hasn't publicly responded to her comments, but it comes a day after he announced that "block is going to be deleted as a 'feature,' except for DMs." Elon didn't share when it would go into effect; however, a note was added to his tweet that said if Elon did remove the ability to block users, "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. There are no such policies for the web-app however."
