a question about facebook:

[elleng]

If A has 'blocked' B from reading A's posts, is A able to read B's posts?

Thanks

1. Nope.

Once someone blocks someone else, neither one of them can see the other.

Thank goodness!

my dear elleng...

2. Thanks, CalPeg.

I am careful what I say, and wouldn't mind if A saw my posts, but curious what A knows about my day-to-day.

3. Not unless

A and B have a common Fb friend, whom I'll call C. Then, if B posts on C's status, A will be able to read B's post. B will also be able to read any posts that A puts on C's status.

4. Thanks.

That's possible.

5. To be safe, assume it will be read by exactly whom you do not want to read it

Facebook has so many wholes in it, mostly caused by common friends comments, sharing and such. If A says something about B, or says something she does not want B to know, assume B will know. Just don;t put things on facebook you do not want public.

6. I don't mind if anyone reads my posts, and I don't post publicly stuff I don't want 'out there.'

This is a personal thing, me blocked by someone, and just curious whether she can read my posts. IF she could, MAYBE she'd learn it's stupid to block me? Guess that won't happen.

Thanks

7. Just wanted to add here...

that if A does a full block on B, not only can't they see each other's posts, but it also makes each non-existent to the other.

IOW, A can do a search for B's name on Facebook, and it's like the person never signed up. Same the other way around.


Also...what that means is that even if A comments on C's Facebook page where B is also C's friend, B will NOT see A's comment. Nor will A see B's comments.

In essence, full blocking wipes out any trace of the person you blocked, and makes you invisible to him/her.


I've tested this well, believe me...

8. Thought so.

Thanks (I guess.) I don't play any of these games, but some 'close' to me do.
