Its ridiculous that blocking someone still allows them to view your public posts... and therefore your whereabouts.... surely blocking someone is as much about not wanting them to know stuff about you as much as you about them...

ReplyDeleteBut blocking them from seeing your public posts would be futile as all they would need to do is logout and create a new google+ account with a pseudonym and look at your posts with that.
Even though you block the person, they are still able to see all your status updates... which should not be the case... Is there a way to remove yourself from their circle, and avoid them to follow you?
ReplyDeleteHow can you tell if you both blocked each other? I blocked a few people. I can still search and find the profiles of 2 and I can see that I blocked the 2 people. However, I cannot find the 3 person when I search for the person unless I unblock the person. Does this mean that the other person also blocked me?
ReplyDeleteIf you post things to public, it doesn't matter if you block them. They can make a new profile and see it that way. If you'd rather a complete stranger know what you are doing it shouldn't matter if a blocked person can see it. Keep private things in the right circles and it won't reach your blocked profiles.
