Should you not also include `::` IPv6 entries?

#42Thank you! Now I can censor, too
Re: Blocklist of all Facebook domains

You can't do wildcards in a hosts file.
Re: Blocklist of all Facebook domains
#44Not the way I'd do it, since you can easily miss on some new domain that belongs to facebook (or perhaps some server that does not look like it belongs to facebook in the first place, but it is sitting in their assigned subnets). If you really want to block all traffic from/to facebook, lookup the IP prefixes associated with their AS number(AS32934), and setup your firewall to block those. If you are using PF, tables…
Facebook only has one AS?

#45Will there be a point where the government will step in or is all of this tracking within fair use of non-logged in Facebook users visiting a website?
I doubt it. Judging by history, it's more likely they'll demand access to all that data.

Re: Blocklist of all Facebook domains
#47I'm sorry, I've been away for a couple of hours... What happened ? Why should I (we) block all facebook domains ?
This is probably a reaction to the news that Facebook is now officially tracking non-users to create shadow profiles and serve adverts to them off Facebook itself. I think it's the serve-adverts-off-Facebook-itself part that's the actual news; all of the moderately chilling tracking and profile construction was of course happening already. http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/27/11795248/facebook-ad-netwo...
And yet, Google started going down a similar path since December 2009 when they introduced personalized searches for non-logged-in users and nobody tries to block them.

#48Do you how to apply this just for my user on OS X? My partner is heavy FB user and I don't want to block her...
Re: Blocklist of all Facebook domains
#49Slightly off topic: It would be nice to have some kind of extension for Chrome that blocks all Time-Wasting websites with one click. Has anyone seen something like that?
I use LeechBlock for Firefox. It can either block sites, give you a time restriction for certain websites, or delay them opening.

Smart, even this list forgets national domain names belonging to Facebook. For example Facebook.no which is owned by a rather anonomous company (lovellsnames.org /Low Gravity Limited), yet the domain appears to be used by FB and God knows how many subdomains under there again there are.
