If you're an active user on Facebook, chances are you've come across users that make repetitive, inflammatory comments or even harassment on the platform. 

Fortunately, Facebook makes it very simple to block users on the site. Blocking a user on Facebook prevents the person from viewing your profile, messaging you, or tagging you in posts. 

It is also equally as easy to see who you've blocked on Facebook. Here's how.
