Blocking People in Facebook : Facts and Flaws

Blocking People in Facebook is abused by many users as the blocked user never knows that another user has blocked but that user can actually see your posts. It is among Facebook’s Policy, clearly written “Blocking someone is completely confidential, and the person will not be notified that he or she has been blocked.” and officially it is written “Blocking a user will prevent any type of direct interaction between you and that user. However, for technical reasons, there are certain instances when an individual you have blocked from your account may be able to view your comments on the site and vice versa, including comments on a mutual friend’s photo. Please be assured that your listing will appear in black text, with no profile picture visible or contact links available.”

More over for each domain and Subdomain, Google has separate SSL certificates – to pass in Google plus (plus.google.com) you have to pass accounts.google.com with another SSL certificate. plus.google.com‘s SSL certificate is issued by Google themselves. Unlike Facebook. Our basic topic was Blocking People in Facebook, but these came as its a basic need to protect the password.

So, basically, if a person A blocks Me after being Facebook Friend, taken that I have accepted on right or false impression and as logically (it happened with me) if person A blocks me, I will never know but the person A can spy me. More interestingly, the person’s profile vanishes from your Friend List.

Our Advice for using Facebook

 

Facebook, by coding is not very safe, they will not change their platform for sure. Do not use any third party apps, games etc. Selectively hide your data to be publicly shown, these will give you some security from generalized hacks, exploits. Do not accept friendship requests from never known persons. You will forget the name and if he/she blocks you, its impossible to find. In case you are in too much trouble, close the account and reopen a new.
