The Facebook Blocking Flaw

So today I was flicking through my inbox on facebook when I noticed something. The ability to see who has blocked me, to some degree

Here is how you can see who has blocked you, it only works if you share friends in common, which is pretty much very likely to be the case.

Go to inbox

You will see a list of all past conversations

If you can see a pic of the person you may still be that persons friend Click profile to find out, unless of course you know you are still facebook friends :-)

If you can see a pic and it says "xxx friends in common" either you or that person have deleted one or the other but you are not blocked

If you see no pic but it says "xxx friends in common" then either you or that person has been blocked and if you didnt do the blocking then you can be sure who did. To put that to the test get someone to check the name out on facebook. The person will still be there

If you see no pic and it shows no friends in common then either you are blocked and didnt share any friends or that person has removed the profile. That part I discovered was when I had a blank profile showing, no friends in common but the person was on my friends list with a different "new" profile 

Go on give it a try
