The Privacy Shortcuts menu is a little known menu located next to the notification icon at the top right-hand corner of the screen. The menu gives you quick access to change who can see your posts and who can comment on them. You can also quickly block a user if they have been annoying or harassing you. Select the "How do I stop someone from bothering me" option and enter the person's name or email address.
Facebook won't notify users if they have been blocked. The person will simply be unable to view your profile, message you, or see comments you leave on other profiles. They will also be unfriended if you were previously friends with them. If blocking someone may seem a little too harsh, you can instead add them to a restricted list that will only show them posts you make public. This option can be found in the Blocking section of the Settings menu, which in turn can be accessed by clicking on the down arrow that is located next to the Privacy Shortcuts icon.
In addition to blocking specific users, here you will also be able to block certain people from inviting you to events and apps. But we do periodically make changes. Like when they made the like button turn into those reactions. Probably the most notable change for you with Facebook events would have been I want to say three years ago.
We sort of split the public event product from the private event product. And so Facebook events, if you go back even further, if you go back to the mid s, the product was built for private events. It was built for private parties — stuff that you would have used an e-vite for, right?
And so it kind of had the traditional invite, guest list, RSVP, going, maybe, not going. It had all of those formalisms that you would have come to expect for an invitation to a private event online. And what we saw was that that was actually not working really well for public events. And we observed this based on how people were using the product for public events and also just interviewing a lot of people that organized public events and talking to them about the problems they were seeing.
And in that process, we made a few design changes or sort of decisions, I suppose, on how to better serve both private and public events.
Language is pretty complex. Because otherwise, that would be annoying for the person putting it on that anyone could see it, so the only way you can hear about it is through an invitation. It feels rude. Surveys, in-person research. People just feel it is kind of an affront to say not going.
Maybe you can go, but you just have no interest in going. Using a language that they use themselves when communicating with their friends. Are you not gonna come? Which is the public event with a personal stake. Just, you know, anyone that might know someone that I know. In that case, this invite mechanism with the ignore option may not work as well for them.
That is more of a rare thing than it is a thing that people are frequently doing. Concerts are a big, big use case for events on Facebook. Between standard bands and then, now increasingly over time, DJ sets. So we think that direction probably serves that specific use case better. Ashley: So going back to when you were talking about private events.
You mentioned these event creators want an answer, right? Ashley: But the events team has left behind this middle gray area. It has been the source of some drama. Oh, I see, interesting.
So yeah, the seen state on the invite. And the rationale for seen state is specifically because people who organize private events, they are kind of stressed out. And people can be pretty lazy about responding. And what we found over time is that people who are organizing private events on Facebook felt like Facebook was not sending their invites.
When I started working on events a long time ago that was one of the most common pieces of feedback that I heard about. Both externally as well as within the company. And so you must have a bug. When using a Facebook account for business purposes, you may end up getting bombarded with invites from spammers, and these invites can quickly spiral out of control.
However, Facebook provides options that restrict who can find your profile and who can send you a friendship request or invitation to an event. If you block Facebook invitations, only friends of friends will be able to send you invites, or you will need to invite friends yourself.
