Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino has stressed that users' safety is their “number one priority” a day after Elon Musk announced that blocking feature will be removed from X, formerly known as Twitter, reports NDTV.
Linda also stated that they are working on something better than the current block and mute features.
Ms Yaccarino's statement came in response to a post by anti-bullying activist Monica Lewinsky, who urged the Twitter CEO and Elon Musk to rethink their decision of removing the block feature.
“Please rethink removing the block feature. As an anti-bullying activist (and target of harassment) I can assure you it's a critical tool to keep people safe online. - that woman,” Monica Lewinsky tweeted.
Linda Yaccarino appeared to defend Elon Musk's move saying, “Our users' safety on X is our number one priority. And we're building something better than the current state of block and mute. Please keep the feedback coming”.
