MODERATORS
I don't disagree with your decision to do this, but this isn't really offering you any additional protection if you're not using their products.
It's basically just a failsafe for web trackers that don't get blocked. It isn't preventing Meta from accessing your personal data if you're not actively feeding it to them like Muse users are.
Their products are on most websites. Facebook has a profile on you whether or not you use their products directly, even if it's just tied to a digital fingerprint.
It's making sure no one using my network can use their products. Do you not have kids or do your kids not have friends?
Your entire post could have remained a thought in your head and would have been just as useful.
