Any user can block you on Twitter. If they do so, you can't see their Tweets. However, there is an easy way to work around this and view their Tweets anyway, if they don't have a private account.
Steps
-
1Go to the blocked account. Open www.twitter.com in a web browser and go to the user who has blocked you on Twitter.
-
2Copy the profile address. Now copy his/her Twitter page's URL (e.g. https://twitter.com/wikiHow).
-
3Log out of Twitter. Click on your profile picture and click on Log out.
-
4Go to their profile. Paste their Twitter URL into your browser. Now you can see their Tweets.

QuestionWhy would somebody block me from liking their tweets?
Community AnswerMaybe they mistook you for somebody else, or maybe they clicked the "block" button by accident. If you know them in real life, ask them. If not, you could try asking a friend to contact them and ask them why you were blocked. -
QuestionIs there a way to see private tweets?
WiichickenCommunity AnswerThe only way to currently view private tweets is if the account owner gave you permission to view them. -
QuestionI want to know when a Twitter user blocked me. Is there a means to determine this?Community AnswerNo, there isn't. There is no way to know what time a user blocked you, unless they did it when you were viewing their page and refreshed.
-
QuestionI can no longer see an account I'm following. It says the account doesn't exist. Why? Did they block me or make their account private?Community AnswerNeither. That isn't blocking at all. If someone blocks you, it will say you are blocked from viewing the profile. If a profile is empty and says the account doesn't exist, that means the person has deleted their account. A private account will say the tweets are protected, not that the profile can't be found.
Warnings
- If their Tweets are private/protected, you won't be able to see them unless you follow them with an unblocked account.Thanks!
