[@erik](https://m.zkc.se/@erik) the programming behind the Mastodon platform is all about broadcasting information out without much in the way of control over who gets it.
You can not block those actors on this platform, unfortunately. It’s simply not how they structured the system here, and it’s really important for users to realize that.
Effectively, if you participate here, they will have access to it.
I criticize that design, but it is what it is. Other platforms like BlueSky might be better about this, but it’s how this platform decided to operate.
