YOU’RE NOT TOTALLY BLOCKED

Working around Social Networking

SO YOU’RE BLOCKED?

You might be irritating someone so they block you on Twitter.

Maybe someone deems you a threat to their business.

And they tap “block” to get rid of you.

TL;DR VERSIONAllow several days for Twitter’s blocking capabilities to become fully effective. And know everything leaks on the internet.

TESTING TWITTER’S BLOCKING

THEN I LOGGED INTO DABR.EU

DABR SHOWS @DAYNGR IS BLOCKING.

DABR SHOWS @DAYNGR VIA SEARCH.

STANDARD TWITTER SEARCH SHOWS @DAYNGR.

Twitter can block people from seeing timeline info but it takes a few days for blocks to constrain search results.

TWITTER SHOWS LISTS FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER BEING BLOCKED.

TWITTER LISTS HAVE A LONGER HALF LIFE.

If you feel threatened on a social network, you should keep a protected account.

YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY.
