It's just a stupid concept, if I personally have blocked someone I'll let them know, but if a girl is being tormented off a guy sometimes they don't wanna let em know. does anybody else agree?
In a way you're correct. When you're blocked you're blocked and you can't do anything about (neither a block checker will do anything about it)...

Although, I can perfectly imagine that knowing when you're blocked can also be a good thing. So they wouldn't be totally useless.

But I don't quite understand how block checkers could be used to stalk people though. Block checkers only check if you're blocked, nothing more.

Because as we all know, since a long time they don't work at all anymore and they only can check if you're blocked if the other user has choosen to allow everyone on his list. If the other user doesn't allow strange people on his allow list, then block checkers can only check if the other user is online or not, nothing more...

My opinion: IF they would work, they can be usefull
