Blocking and Tackle-ing

 Did you know that FACEBOOK - with all it's security problems - and other Privacy issues does a decent job of something,,, at least in my opinion,...


IF you block a contact - ie you go to that little downward pointing triangle in the top right corner and click it...   Then click Setting and Privacy, them on the FAR left side  (and yea they make it tricky to do some of this) on the FAR left you will see "BLOCKING" about half way down the screen .... you click that - and you can BLOCK any user ..... and if you have it will show you the list of names you have blocked... FB tells you this about Blocking. 

"Once you block someone, that person can no longer see things you post on your timeline, tag you, invite you to events or groups, start a conversation with you, or add you as a friend. Note: Does not include apps, games or groups you both participate in." 

What it also does - and FB does not tell you this ..."You and the blocked person will not find the profiles for each other even if you search for the names on Facebook’s search bar."

Meaning what - ??  

If you block someone from seeing YOU - FB blocks YOU from seeing them..  WHOOSH !

That is all............. for now....
