You Can Block Any Facebook User Except Mark Zuckerberg

Facebook is getting way too big and culturally important for things like this to continue. In 2005 it was cool for Zuckerberg to have a business card that said “I’m CEO…Bitch.” And we can forgive early Facebook engineers from perusing confidential user data in their leisure time. But it’s time for this company to go through puberty and start acting more like a teenager than a fifth grader. If you want to block Zuckerberg, you should be able to block Zuckerberg.

Something tells me that TechCrunch is wrong on this one. I would say this feature has more to do with the fact that Mark needs to be able to contact any user at anytime without hitch. (i.e. site-wide notifications and important messages). Allowing users to block him — and his updates — would create a liability for the company.
