Meta blocks Threads users from blocking AI account
threads users testing the new meta ai feature cannot block the ai account and can only mute or hide it.
meta launched a test of its meta ai account on threads in argentina, malaysia, mexico, saudi arabia, and singapore, allowing users to tag the bot for conversational context. the feature resembles xai's grok on x, but threads users found the meta ai account lacks a block option in the three-dot menu. attempts to block the bot result in errors, leading to over one million posts on the platform criticizing the restriction. meta spokesperson christine pai stated that users must use alternatives like muting or hiding to reduce ai interactions.
