Blocking a user on TikTok restricts their ability to interact with one’s account. This action prevents the blocked user from viewing the profile, videos, and live streams of the person who initiated the block. It also removes their capacity to send direct communications.
Understanding the consequences of user blocking is important for managing one’s digital footprint and maintaining privacy within the TikTok platform. Historically, the specific functionalities surrounding user interaction and data retention have evolved to address user concerns about online safety and control over personal data.
