Viewing your blocked list on the web is a little different. Here's how:
You should now see a list of all the people you've blocked on Facebook.
From here, you can unblock anyone by clicking the Unblock button next to their name. And you could also go a step further by refriending them on Facebook if you want to re-establish the connection.
The short answer is no, people will not be notified when you block them on Facebook. However, there are a few ways they can use to figure it out on their own.
For example, if they try to search for your profile on Facebook and can't find it, that's a pretty good indication you've blocked them. Additionally, they will no longer be able to see any of your posts or profile information. They'll also not be able to tag you in posts or send you messages on Facebook.
We hope this guide has helped you learn how to view the people you've blocked on Facebook. Checking your blocked list frequently is a good idea, just in case you accidentally blocked someone important to you.

User lock is a real blacklist. Allows you to view the list of unwanted contacts. You can unlock them if you want.
Block messages - you will not receive messages or calls from these users.
Block invitations to applications - add applications through which no one can contact the user or learn about his actions in the application.
Page blocking - restriction of interactions with pages.
Facebook allows its users to choose the degree of restriction. It is possible to block individual contacts, as well as unwanted pages.
