Phones are not a pub-sub system like Twitter is. Once you block someone, there is no way they can contact you directly. <i>You</i> have to go and read their Tweets in some manner to see what they are saying.<p>Stephanie Guthrie was appears to have been literally trying to sue this guy because he called her mean names (for which she blocked him), and was using a hashtag that she liked to search on. Apparently, Tweets from people you have blocked are still visible if they are using a hashtag that you search on. This could possibly be a technical limitation – it&#x27;s not like Google gives you an option (apart from SafeSearch) to filter sites you may be offended by. Come to think of it, <i>this is literally like trying to sue someone for putting up a site indexed by Google that may come up for search terms you use</i>.<p>So I would say the case for being similar to repeated phone calls is invalid.
