Mark Zuckerberg is unblockable … at least on Facebook

Technolog - Mark Zuckerberg is unblockable … at least on Facebook

"Facebook users love to get indignant, as near as I can tell. If it's not another unsettling redesign on the social network of choice, then they're launching Facebook groups to protest another privacy infringement one or several civil liberties advocacies are mad about. And now, you can't block Facebook founder, CEO and everybody's most hated self-made ka-jillionaire, Mark Zuckerberg from seeing stuff on your profile.

Facebook's 'block' feature allows you to prevent a specific Facebook user from seeing your profile, or even finding your profile in a user search conducted through Facebook. Attempt to block Zuckerberg and as of this morning, you'll get a prompt that reads, 'General Block failed error: Block failed.'

'This kind of thing is funny, and adds a little personality to the site,' TechCrunch observed, along with other tech blogs that suspected the block to be a humorous Easter egg planted by Facebook developers. According to Facebook however, the 'error' isn't a joke, nor is it specific to Zuckerberg's account.
