How to Block People on Facebook

Log on through the Facebook home page and head to the "My Privacy" page (see Resources below). You can change privacy levels for almost every Facebook feature from this page.

List the person you want to block in the "Block People" box on the My Privacy page and click "Search."
Browse through the results to find the person you want to block. The more common the name, the more people you will need to search through.

Click the "Block Person" link for the person you want to block. The person will no longer be able to see your profile, and you will not turn up in the person's search results.
