- If you want to prevent someone from viewing your Facebook profile and posts, you can opt to block them. You can also block invites from specific applications.

- Go to your Privacy Settings and then click on Edit your lists under Block Lists.

- Enter in the name of the person you wish to block and select them from the Facebook list once you find them.

- Please note that once you block someone they will no longer be your friend on Facebook.

- You can also block people by entering in their email address.

- If you change your mind later you can unblock them by clicking on Unblock next to their name.

- This will allow them to again access your Facebook profile and anything else you've chosen to share with them. You can't block them again for 48 hours.

- You can also choose to just block invites from a person if one of your friends keep sending you invites to things and you don't want to receive them anymore.
