Experiment to determine whether a blocked person can still see your posts shared by mutual friends

AIM: To determine whether those you block can see your posts shared
by mutual friends.

*This experiment is to be carried out with a Facebook friend.

STEPS TO FOLLOW:1. Use your Facebook account to block one of your
friend's other Facebook friends. (Make sure the blocked friend is not
your friend too, or you'll have to send another friend request and
explain your pranks to a bewildered friend).

2. Tell your friend to share one of the friend's posts and photos
from his account.

3. Check whether you can see the shared post and photo from your account.

4. Unblock the person.

RESULTS: You won't see any of the blocked person's posts or photos ,
even if you check your friend's timeline from your account. But your
friend will see the "A shared B's post" on his timeline from his
account.

CONCLUSION: He/she can't see your posts as well. Blocking someone
also blocks you from seeing his/her timeline, though you can unblock
at will.
