I'm going to be excited to see how this plays out with legal controls.

That being said removing block isn't necessarily a terrible idea if you plan to expand what your privacy controls are.

You should be able to restrict who can see your content. If they take away that aspect, that would be hilarious and ridiculous.

We'll see how it all plays out
