    That seems to be how the apple store is worded. But google requires in app blocking of users and content, which cannot be reasonably interoperated as moderator removals or bans.

    Musk’s proposed change would violate the language in the image for google’s store.

      Going by the other two in the Google rules they are about blocking people from using the service just like Apple’s list not about letting individuals block other individuals.

        How can you possibly read it that way? Unless you think there has to be an in-app method to ban users? There is no in-app system for blocking people from the service either.

        Google: Provides an in-app system for blocking UGC and users.

          I agree.

          I don’t see how an administrator blocking someone serverside could possibly be “in app.”
