How to Ban or Unban someone from your Facebook Page

  • Updated

As you gain followers and begin posting content, you may find that there are users interacting with your content in a way that you don’t approve of. Banning these users is a great way to ensure that they can no longer post to your page. 

You can ban or unban someone from your page at any time.

When you ban someone from your Page, they'll still be able to share content from your Page to other places on Facebook, but they'll no longer be able to publish to your Page, like or comment on your Page's posts, message your Page or like your Page.

You may also remove someone who likes your Page. 

When you remove someone from your Page, they'll no longer like it. This is a good option for people you don't want following your Page's posts in their News Feeds or the News Feeds of their friends. However, Pages are public spaces and people you've removed can choose to like your Page again.
