The claim is a major departure for the service, which has long been known as a destination for posting short snippets of text.

Does it block the word "Musk"? Is it case-sensitive? Honestly curious, especially since some of these last names can refer to either the person or a noun.

    It does not block "Musk" or "Elon" when they aren't in the same sentence It seems to block "musk" or "elon" or "elon musk" in lowercase.

    One problem I noticed is that it slows down the loading of other pages, like Protonmail via the browser, so I had to disable it for some web pages. I don't think you can individually disable it for certain pages though, so I'd have to turn it on/off.

    One awesome feature that I'd like to see them ad is allowing custom names. I don't only dislike Elon Musk, but also Taylor Swift and all the other rich people who make it into my news and my brain every single day on every single news outlet.... If it's not about world economy, there really isn't a reason why Taylor Swift would be on Reuters. There is no reason at all for Elon Musk to be on the news, and when the news is about the lives he ruined, they should put a picture of THEM up, not of his shitty face.
