Reddit's Blocking Tool Balances Free Speech With Right to Ignore

2016-04-08 22:20:32| TechNewsWorld

Reddit this week announced that it has extended the reach of its blocking tool, which was introduced in 2011 to let users fight harassment. The tool previously focused on blocking private messages; now it can block comments to users' posts. Clicking the Block User button while viewing a reply will hide the blocked user's profile, comments, posts and messages without that user's knowledge.
