My weekly reading list
AI has reinvigorated a data and privacy debate that’s at least 60 years old. Also there was lots about social media this week.

What I've been reading this week:
X will let people you’ve blocked see your posts
TL;DR
Musk says it is “high time” that blocked users can see but not interact with public posts.
Musk says it is “high time” that blocked users can see but not interact with public posts.
Elon Musk has used a reply on X to announce that blocked users will be able to view – but not interact with – the public posts of those users that have blocked them on the platform. There’s not a lot of detail on what else that will mean or when the change will happen, but it is no secret Musk doesn’t like the block button. Whatever else, it certainly makes X an even more hostile place for some users and take the platform even further down the free speech absolutism path Musk has it on.
