Answer

you can say 'blocking people from contact with each other' or 'blocking people from contacting each other'.  here 'with' and 'from' are used to mean the same thing..with=combining and from=separating. so you keep people from 'combining' or you 'separate' them.

Answer

As Cathy said, you can say 'contact with' or 'contacting'. Just 'contact' is wrong.
'Contacting' is using contact as a verb. You need the -ing form there.
'Contact with' is using contact in the noun form, but it is still not very natural. It would be better as 'Blocking people from making contact with each other'.
