Facebook Tests Ex-Blocking

Facebook is testing a new feature which offers users the option of blocking their ex-partner if their relationship status has changed. Via the Independent:

The social network will trial the new relationship tool in the United States, with plans to roll out the changes worldwide after receiving feedback. The tools will allow users to limit the photos, videos or status updates that an ex will see. Without having to unfriend or block a former partner, Facebook will also make sure their name and profile picture do not appear in the site’s news feed. Their name will not be suggested either when users tag friends in a photo. Users will also be able to edit who can see past posts with a former partner and untag from posts with that person.
