The inability to block AI accounts similar to "Grok" on Threads becomes a hot topic

Threads users are upset that Meta’s new @meta.ai account can auto-reply to posts but cannot be blocked right now.

Meta says the feature is still being tested in some regions and suggests using mute, hide, or “not interested” to reduce AI replies.

The backlash highlights a bigger question for social platforms: how much control users should have over AI accounts and their visibility.
