Can You Block Someone From Your Business Page on Facebook?

You can’t necessarily “block” users from your business page, but you can “ban” them. This allows them to share your content without being able to actively participate in your Page.

One Last Word

Remember that blocking is forever, or at least until you friend the user again. When you block someone, you need to friend them again, which could create an awkward situation. So, if you want a break, you may want to consider temporary solutions instead.
