How to Block Someone From Reading My Tweets
When you create a Twitter account it is set to be public by default, meaning that anyone can view your tweets regardless of whether the user is on your follower list. The "Block" option doesn't actually block users from viewing tweets on a public profile -- all it does is allow you to block a particular user from following you. If you want to prevent someone from reading your tweets, the only way to do so is by making your entire profile private.
