How to block someone on Facebook?
If you are looking to remove some from Facebook because they are bothering you very much, disturbing your peace, or harassing you in any manner, it is recommended that you block them instead. Blocking them will completely prevent them from viewing your account in any manner or contacting you through Facebook. To block someone, open their Profile>Three dots>Block. Select confirm to block them. If you only want a break from them, you can follow the same steps and choose the ‘Take a Break’ option instead of hitting confirm. You can also mute someone on Facebook in order for them to stop disturbing you time and again.
