Initial Comment:
Maybe some people like having Facebook's "like" button and "who likes" panes on various pages (e.g. on arstechnica.com) but I consider it to be a tracker.  The rule below blocks all of the Facebook stuff on the pages I have looked at, and doesn't seem to affect the performance of Facebook.

{+block{Facebook "like" trackers.}}

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
