Should it be updated with following lines?

0.0.0.0 meta.com
0.0.0.0 www.meta.com

Still can't block $#@!$# Twitter with the full list. It's like some kind of evil leech. Thank God Dorsey is leaving. What really stinks is they blocked my account but you can't delete your account if it's blocked so I am stuck with that horror Forever.

I finally blocked Twitter with a Chrome app, but for some odd reason the blank page I get still has that stupid bird.

I was also having trouble with Twitter. How I fixed:

• Go to Twitter
• Open developer tools, go to the application tab
• Click on "clear site data"

After that, Twitter was not able to load anymore

In addition to that, I also added 0.0.0.0 api.twitter.com

If you are using Pi-Hole for blocking just Facebook, you can plug these into the admin web console as wildcard domains:

facebook.com
facebook.net
fbcdn.com
fbcdn.net
fbsbx.com
fbsbx.net
fburl.com
fb.me
fb.com
m.me
messenger.com

Pi-hole wildcard domains match on regex like: (\.|^)facebook\.com$

twitter is changed to X. can you please update this list?
