What I think is fascinating about this is how front-and-center the whole "block unwanted calls" feature is. They mention it several times on this one page, when they could mention a bunch of other features instead. It goes to show how concerned people are with potentially allowing frictionless contact from mere acquaintances.
- bentcorner 12y agoI have never needed to block a call, so I'm not the customer here. I'm curious what demographic uses call blocking so much that FB wants to advertise directly to them. Is it a problem that younger people face, or something that happens in other countries?
- MichaelGG 12y agoBuy an SSL certificate. Enjoy Comodo calling you 3 times a week, sometimes waking you up, to try to sell security. Even after telling them to stop. (Yeah, I should take it up with the FCC...) Even more fun: point out Comodo's lapses as a CA and say they're the last CA you'd ever deal with. Then the rep smoothly segues into pitching antivirus/"security" software.

- Spearchucker 12y agoSurprised that you give them your real number. Any data I provide online is only ever enough for the specific service I want to function. The rest is invented. Fiction. Myth.
- MichaelGG 12y agoI'm pretty sure they just look at our website or other contact information. I'm not sure it's just the WHOIS info.
- ryanSrich 12y agoiOS already has the block caller feature. Confused why Facebook is making such a big deal about it.
- stevens32 12y agoI think being able to see how many others have blocked the number would help to weed out telemarketing calls, saving me the 3 seconds it takes to answer, hear the pre-recorded message and hang up.
