I can't even get to Facebook anymore on any of my devices. On all of my Macs, my `/etc/hosts` file includes: 0.0.0.0 facebook.com 0.0.0.0 www.facebo

I can't even get to Facebook anymore on any of my devices. On all of my Macs, my `/etc/hosts` file includes:
0.0.0.0 facebook.com
0.0.0.0 www.facebook.com
And then to double down, I have a custom 1Blocker rule to prevent accidentally opening up any Facebook links on my iPhone:
https?://([a-z\.]*)?facebook\.com.*
- makecheck 9y agoI’ve done something similar but technically that only prevents you from visiting the main site. If you want to be really shocked you should search for some of the host files out there that attempt to list every known Facebook-owned host; there are hundreds of lines or more. It is extremely difficult to prevent Facebook tentacles from being loaded by other sites, and it’s surely a losing battle (I bet they register new domains daily).
- joeblau 9y agoI've already got that covered[1]. …/~ cat /etc/hosts | wc -l 50773 [1] - https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
- Tepix 9y agoThis won't match hostnames with numbers or dashes in them. Also it will match www.neverusefacebook.com
