Message blocking is a form of communication control in which one person prevents another person from sending or receiving messages. This can be done through a variety of methods, including:
- Blocking the sender’s phone number or email address
- Setting up filters to automatically delete messages from the sender
- Refusing to respond to the sender’s messages
Message blocking can have a significant impact on the recipient. It can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression. It can also make it difficult for the recipient to get help or support. In some cases, message blocking can even be a form of abuse.
