Both Apple and Google terms of service require apps to have a blocking feature built in. Elmo been spouting off again without actually knowing anything. As of this evening he’s figured out that’s not something he can actually do and deleted his tweet.
Or he does know this and is intentionally trying to run Twitter down to get out his purchase of ot that was legally enforced after he tried to back out
You don’t. The only thing you need their permission for is to work with them (by putting something in their stores). I feel it’s reasonable to give them that power.
He doesn’t need their permission. He could just publish an APK for Android and provide side-loading instructions for iOS, but the majority of app users are never going to do that, so they’d just never see another app update ever again.

Seems a little late to get out of the purchase, having brought the company private and rebranded it already…
He’s not playing 4d chess here, he’s playing a different game:
It’s not gone entirely, you can still block DMs.
It’s not gone at all and unless the app stores change their terms of service, it won’t be.
naw
The stores need apps to be able to block users. Not other users blocking users from their feed
Does it have a nsfw filter?
On the one hand, lol, on the other, we shouldn’t need permission from either of those companies to do a goddamn thing.
