I hate Elon as much as the next guy but from reading the article he talks about stopping the blockage of public posts. Doesn't this make sense? You can just go into incognito mode and look at their account anyway. As far as I can tell, you still won't be able to interact with the user.

It's like when the whole Trump blocking people was being talked about as not allowing citizens to see public information that the president tweeted. I know that ordinary citizens is totally different, but again, if your account is public people that you block will find a way to look at your posts if they want to.
