# Block Meta IPv4

0.0.0.0 zh-tw.facebook.com

I had to edit it and cut off many lines because it's 2171 lines long and the overwhelming majority is just Facebook domains.

Those IPs for v4 and v6 mean they lead to the HTTP equivalent of /dev/null

X/Twitter is blocked too.  I need to block Alphabet/Google and Microsoft as well, but they're actually useful for certain things (damn you YouTube and GitHub!)

I'm interested, and with the tariffs and inflation the tickets actually seem reasonable now too
