The
privacy rules of the Facebook Messenger application regulate important issues
such as how users' data is collected, processed, stored and shared. Privacy
rules aim to ensure that users' personal data is safe. The confidentiality of
personal data such as users' contact information, shared content and activities
should be protected. Rules determine how users' data is collected, processed
and stored. In this way, users can understand which data is used for what
purpose. The privacy policies of the application explain how user data is
shared with third parties. This lets users know with which companies or
services data may be shared and for what purpose. Privacy policies specify how
users are allowed to share data and how users can manage those permissions. In
this way, users can control which data can be used for what purposes. An
accurate and understandable privacy policy increases users' trust in the
application. Users can use it more comfortably when they understand how the
application uses their data.
Blocking
a user on Facebook Messenger means preventing that person from contacting you
or seeing your content. Open the Messenger app on your device. Select the chat
window of the person you want to block. Click or tap on the contact's name at
the top. This will open the contact's settings menu. Inside the contact's
settings, there is usually an option such as "Block Contact" or
"Block". Clicking this option will open a dialog confirming blocking
the person. In the dialog that opens, confirm the blocking by clicking a
confirmation button such as "Block" or "Yes". When you
block the person, they can no longer contact you and see your content. Remember
that a person you have blocked cannot contact you, but you can communicate with
them. Also, the person you blocked cannot remove you from their friend list or
see their blocked status on your Facebook profile.
