When you block someone, they are generally restricted from viewing your profile, posts, and any interactions with you. The specifics can vary by platform, but in most cases, blocked users won’t see your content in their feed, search results, or any mutual friends' profiles. Blocking someone ensures they have minimal, if any, visibility into your online presence.
