This tool is the result of a couple of hours researching how the login works and how to block users. It can be significantly improved, e.g. Creating the functionality to import a list of users in order to block them (like the old functionality which is currently not available in Twitter https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/advanced-twitter-block-options)
