Q&A: Tweeting in Public or Private

Q.

Can someone you block on Twitter still see your tweets

A.

Blocking another Twitter user prevents the person from following your account and automatically seeing your posts in his or her Twitter feed. Your tweets may still be visible, however, if you have not turned on certain privacy controls in your account’s settings.

Twitter allows you to have a public account, where anyone on the Web can see your posts on your Twitter profile page, or a protected account, where only the people you approve as followers can see your tweets. You can adjust this visibility on Twitter in your account’s settings, as explained in the site’s help guide.
