[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi Maxim, Bruno,

In my opinion, this entire Facebook blocklist is out of scope of the
core operating system, and it should be removed entirely to reduce the
maintenance burden, and any other future attempt to add other hosts to
it. I am not sure how many users out there are relying on this behavior.

Sincerely,
Ryan Sundberg
