Why does it say I'm following people I've blocked on twitter?

[Elle. (:]

I've blocked a few people on twitter and in the 'similar to you' section they sometimes appear and say 'following' underneath. They never appear on my twitter feed but why does it say this? I thought blocking them means I can't see what they do and they can't see me.

Also, can someone you've blocked follow you?

No, the block function was designed speficically to people can't follow you.

You need to be patient and wait until all twitter databases sync.
