Blocking

Blocking, in a general knowledge context, refers to the process of preventing or restricting access to information, resources, or communication. It can occur in various scenarios, such as blocking websites to limit access to certain content, or in psychology, where a person's ability to recall information is hindered. In technology, blocking might involve using firewalls to secure networks from unauthorized access. Essentially, blocking is a means to control, secure, or manage interactions or information flow to achieve a desired outcome, whether in digital environments or cognitive processes.
