The actual Court Opinion misrepresented the actual block option. When YikYak was actually running, a proper block request could be sent to the company to blackout the GPS coordinates of a University from the app, effectively killing the local YikYak community. The app worked based on GPS proximity -- you had to be within 1.5 miles of a given university in order to participate in the "herd" as they called it. This added a lot of character to each individual herd, even if all the groups essentially just reposted the same memes from 4chan/reddit non-stop, but with their own local flavor attached. YikYak had for some time been cooperating with schools and universities to perform the blackouts and even advertised it as a means of compliance and battling harassment through the app. Had a blackout request been made, it would have been effective and the above question would not have been relevant.
