“Privacy is dead, and social media holds the smoking gun.” –Pete Cashmore
Shocking news spread across social media, particularly on X (formerly known as Twitter) after the company announced plans to remove the block button. This change means that users you’ve blocked will still be able to view your posts if your account is set to public mode, raising concerns about privacy and user safety.
Musk faced numerous backlash in the comments, with users expressing concerns about the decision, arguing that risks user privacy and safety. Blocking is an essential feature to protect against harassment, abuse, or other harmful behavior online. It’s a way to maintain personal boundaries in the digital space. By removing this feature, Musk is essentially stripping away a tool for self-defense, potentially empowering stalkers and harmful individuals across the platform.
BLOCKING “MAKES NO SENSE”?
The Verge reported on Musk’s aversion to the block button, which he expressed in June 2023, saying it “makes no sense”. He argued that even though you blocked someone from any connection of your profile, doesn’t prevent them from viewing your profile using a different account and a different name, or as we also like to call them “Stalk Accounts”.
Users already knew that Elon Musk taking over the rights for Twitter was a major red flag. Posts from other social media platforms expressed relief at leaving X, citing privacy concerns. Celebrities, in particular, abandoned their accounts following Musk’s purchase of the company, opting for safer alternatives.
NETIZENS WEIGHED ON MUSK’S SIDE OF THE STORY
One user agreed with Musk, stating that even if you’re blocked from seeing someone, you can just use an alt account to see their tweets, in other case, blocking still doesn’t stop them from seeing your post. Another user thinks it’s dumb to just block someone and expect them to “disappear” when they can just go incognito or change accounts and see everything again. That user assured they’re against 99.9% of the thing Musk does, but nothing still changes even after he removes the block button. Privacy is still dead, Elon was just disposing of something useless.
So, Sugboanons, do you agree with Elon Musk’s idea? Probably think it through, especially when you gossip about it at home to your families, or at school to your friends and classmates.

By Commute: From SM City Cebu bus station, take a bus going to Danao, and ask the driver to drop you off at Danao port. Ride a ferry going to Camotes Islands. Once you arrive at Camotes, ride a jeepney from the port going to Buho Rock. You can also navigate with Waze or Google Maps and set your destination to “Buho Rock Resort”.

Mutan-aw ba ka ug true crime para makatog? Tsk tsk. Murag red flag ata ka, Sugboanon!
Let’s be honest, true crime dramas are gaining popularity in recent years due to their thrilling stories and the mystery of it all. But, did you know that psychologists caution against excessive interests towards the genre? Well, here’s why:
Curiosity vs Obsession
Study shows that those who relax on true crime have regular exposure to numbing their emotional responses which leads to desensitization to violence. In addition, binging on thrillers can also result in increased anxiety. So, if you caught yourself constantly turning around to watch out for your back during or after watching true crime episodes, then that’s already a sign.
Although true crime dramas can be a source of entertainment, compulsive watching may become a coping mechanism and an unhealthy fixation on anything related to the macabre which can result in that person lacking in empathy and may lean on being fascinated by suffering.
Why We Watch True Crime
Many watch true crime due to these reasons:
#1: We Wanna Know Why Criminals Kill
Questions such as what goes behind the minds of a criminal and what motivated them to do such heinous things are the common ones that rise to our thoughts as we watch true crime dramas. We love analyzing things and putting ourselves in the shoes of the detectives, as well as attempting to solve an unclosed case; giving us a sense of intelligence.
#2: We Want to Avoid Being Caught in One
Most true crime watchers take note of what the victim did prior to the incident. This makes the viewer be more aware of his surroundings. For instance, if an episode is about an unresolved kidnapping case, then a viewer may keep in mind what sort of places to avoid, better yet, what items to carry along all the time as a tool to protect oneself.
#3: We Want to Relate to the Involved.
Again, putting ourselves in their shoes to try and get to live in the exact moment leading up to the events. Some people place themselves in the shoes of the victim, while others, unfortunately, relate to the suspects and killers in a strange way. Having the emotional and mental connections makes the stories even more compelling and draws us, the viewers, even deeper into the plot itself.
We’re not discouraging you to watch true crime, but finding the right balance when it comes to your genres is important, most especially to maintain a healthy set of thoughts. Remember, as humans, our curiosity can easily tip into obsession; and that can do you more harm than good.
Social media went berserk over an adorable pygmy hippo!
Moo Deng is a baby pygmy hippo who went viral after the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand posted photos of him online. She was born on July 10, 2024, and gained the name as a translation of the phrase “Bouncy Pork.”
The Innocent Cake Face
The pygmy hippo gained popularity because of its cute face, jet-black eyes, and rounded body; because of this, brands and companies began creating different merchandise with her resemblance. Vetmon Cafe made a realistic Moo Deng cake, Sephora showed a Moo Deng makeup tutorial, the Lint Factory made the baby hippo their ambassador, and even Time Magazine featured her in their latest online vlog!
Fame Comes with a Price
Everyone loved Moo Deng; however, popularity comes with a price. Moo Deng fans began crowding the zoo, and because she is still a youngin, some visitors threw stuff at Moo Deng, harassing her, just to get the baby hippo to turn her attention to the crowd for photos.
In addition, pygmy or dwarf hippos are considered critically endangered species due to habitat loss and hunting. This is why the zoo is raising awareness of their situation and taking precautionary measures to avoid the same issue occurring as Moo Deng’s popularity continues to grow.
