If the "blocking" function of X (Twitter) is cancelled by Musk, its App will be removed from the shelves.

Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com August 20, not long ago, CTOnews.com reported that Musk planned to remove the "block someone" function of the X platform (Twitter) in the future, which caused an uproar. Not long after, some netizens reminded Musk through the long text editor built into the X platform that if this were to happen, the Apple and Android App of the X platform would be at risk of being removed from the shelves by App Store and Play Store.

It has been verified that the terms of UGC (user produced content) in the two operating system application stores are as follows:

Google Play Store: UGC refers to the content that users provide to an application, which can be seen or accessed by at least some users of the application. App that includes or features UGC must implement robust, effective and continuous UGC management: define objectionable content and behavior (in a manner consistent with the Google Play developer plan policy) and prohibit it in the application's terms of use or user policy

Apple App Store: App that provides UGC services must include the ability to "keep abusive users out of the service", filtering methods to prevent undesirable content from appearing in App, and "mechanisms to report offensive content and respond to concerns in a timely manner".

The ▲ picture shows the relevant rules of Google.

The ▲ picture shows that if Musk insists on removing the blocking function of the X platform, then the move has violated the terms of the app stores of the two major operating systems. However, according to his previous thinking, Twitter's "blocking" function was retained only in DM (private messages).
