Q&A: Will Facebook let someone know I blocked them?

Posted on December 5, 2022

Question from Pam:  I have a question Rick. If I block a friend on Facebook, will Facebook tell her I blocked her? I hope the answer is no.

I know I could unfriend her but then my profile would pop up under “People you may know” on her page and that would tip her off that I had unfriended her.

Since I work with this person, I’d rather not upset her, but some of her posts are very crude and I don’t want them showing up on my page. Can you advise?

Question from Anita:  Rick, I have a problem, and I’m hoping you can help me figure out a solution.

When I was in grade school my best friend in the world moved away and I never saw her again. I think that was around 4th grade if memory serves.

The thing is I finally tracked down her profile on Facebook, but there’s no “Add Friend” button and no “Message” button. I can see her Timeline but I can’t post anything on it.

Do you know of ANY way possible that I can contact my long-lost friend?  [Read more…]
