Threads application allows a user to restrict, block, and report any accounts. It becomes possible for one to limit, end, or report an account. However, these three functions- reporting, restriction, and blocking- are different. The description of these three functions is here:
#1. Restriction
Restriction of someone’s account on social media means putting a soundproof shield between them. Everything is visible to both parties, and yet they won’t interact. They won’t be able to see the lies, comments, and other interactions that happen on either side.
#2. Blocking
Blocking is a separate thing. It means the complete removal of the interaction of people in touch. It means completely cutting off ties with a person through social media.
The interaction here ends completely. None of the sides- blocker and blocked person, can interact with each other. However, it is possible to unblock the person again by following the same steps. There may be instances for this need to arise again.
#3. Reporting
Reporting someone on social media means not feeling their account is safe for oneself or other people. Therefore, there is an option to submit a complaint about their accounts to the official authorities of that social media page.
Choose the account of the person and click on the option- ‘report’. This thing will submit your issues to the authorities.
