While Elon Musk decided to remove the block feature from #Twitter, I had a quick look into Apple's "App Store Review Guidelines".
🇳🇱
He removed individual blocked (which didnt block users from the service)... the ability to block users from the service entierly is still done on twitter and as such it doesnt violate this particular requirement.
@freemo Hm, good point, unfortunately.
@freemo @jens I'm being facetious, in reference to the story linked below.
If you have the technical capacity to block abusive users, but your owner won't let you, then do you *really* have the "ability" to block them? OK, the serious answer is "yes," but it's a pretty significant caveat and I hope Apple is paying attention.
I think you misunderstood something...
> If you have the technical capacity to block abusive users, but your owner won't let you, then do you *really* have the "ability"
Thats not what is going on here... The apple policy states that the owners of the platform (musk and twitter employees) must have the ability to block abusive users from the service. It makes no requirement that individual users need to be able to block.
So no you neither have the technical capacity nor will the owner let you... but neither of those has any relevance to the apple policy as it is not talking about that.
@freemo @jens In my post, "you" refers to Twitter as a company. Twitter itself does not have the ability to block abusive owners, because its owner won't let it.
Or that's the joke, but it's really not worth working this hard to analyze.
