# Faceblock.
Facebook for tinfoil hats.

## What is this?
Faceblock started out as my little side project,
to see if I could harvest all the precious data that
would get lost, if I would just block all requests my
browser would make to the Facebook like button infrastructure.

## How does it work
Pretty easy. You let facebook point to the box you run
faceblock on. Fire up CouchDB and you're done.

```
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com facebook.com
127.0.0.1 static.ak.fbcdn.net www.static.ak.fbcdn.net
127.0.0.1 login.facebook.com www.login.facebook.com
127.0.0.1 fbcdn.net www.fbcdn.net fbcdn.com www.fbcdn.com static.ak.connect.facebook.com www.static.ak.connect.facebook.com
```

### Embeds

Once started, faceblock will keep track of most of Facebooks
shiny buttons, embeds, iframes, popups, etc.

At the moment there is support for

* like.php
* likebox.php
* fan.php
* photo.php
