Why You Can't Block Mark Zuckerberg And His Wife Priscalla On Facebook

mark Zuckerberg is the co-founder of Facebook and his posts are nearly unavoidable on Facebook, apparently due to some Facebook's own news feed algorithm. So, in case you have ever thought of blocking him or his wife Priscilla Chan on Facebook, it's a bad idea. Reason? Because both Zuckerberg and Chan's profile cannot be blocked on Facebook and your efforts will go on vain.

Independent reports that the duo have been blocked so many times in past that the site doesn't allow you to block them anymore now. Instead, you will see an error message on the screen that shows that the was some error while trying to block the profiles and that you should try again!

This is the exact message you will see- " You can report Pages or profiles if you think they're doing something that goes against our Community Standards. Learn more. If you think you're seeing this by mistake, please let us know."

Zuckeberg's profile which has posts from both his professional and personal lives, basically get promoted due to some Facebook algorithm and hence is pushed in the news feeds of many.

However, this is not restricted to just Chan or Zuckerberg's profiles. "This error isn't specific to any one account. It's generated when a person has been blocked a certain large number of times. In very rare instances, a viral campaign will develop instructing lots of people to all wrongly block the same person," A Facebook spokesperson told Gizmodo. Zuckeberg has over 95 million followers while his wife Priscilla is followed by over 1 million people on Facebook.
