A blacklist approach to this is for sure a cat and mouse game. A better approach is to incrementally whitelist the domains you trust.

- cgmg 9y agoNot sure why you were downvoted, but this is correct. Facebook (or anyone else) can easily create more domains.
- rphlx 9y agoIn general blacklists are a better choice overall for non-technical users. Do you really want an angry text message or phone call every time $FAMILY_MEMBER has some site that's rendering poorly because they haven't properly whitelisted one of the 12 legit domains it hits? And do you really trust them to not whitelist some ad & tracking domains?
- megous 9y agoPresumably, $FAMILY_MEMBER would have to get past the phone number whitelist too. So it might not be that bad.
