Social media filter

My daughters spend far too much time on social media. So I was looking for a way to block it. I have installed the AdGuard Home Add-on. There is the possibility to set filters yourself.
I searched the internet for different rules and merged them into my repository, Social-media Blocklists.
This repository contains rules to block Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Youtube and Whatsapp. These are suitable for Pi-Hole or AdGuard Home.
Thanks to @Skeletorjus and @radinsky. They found a way to turn it on and off

input_boolean:
  allowfacebook:
    name: Facebook
    icon: mdi:facebook

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      allowfacebook:
        value_template: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.allowfacebook', 'on') }}"
        icon_template: mdi:facebook
        friendly_name: Facebook
        turn_on:
          - service: input_boolean.turn_on
            data:
              entity_id: input_boolean.allowfacebook
        turn_off:
          - service: input_boolean.turn_off
            data:
              entity_id: input_boolean.allowfacebook

automation:
  - id: enable_facebook
    alias: Enable Facebook
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.allowfacebook
      to: 'on'
    action:
    - service: adguard.remove_url
      data:
        url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gieljnssns/Social-media-Blocklists/master/adguard-facebook.txt"

  - id: disable_facebook
    alias: Disable Facebook
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.allowfacebook
      to: 'off'
    action:
    - service: adguard.add_url
      data:
        url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gieljnssns/Social-media-Blocklists/master/adguard-facebook.txt"
        name: Facebook

EDIT: changed the service because enable_url and disable_url isn’t working anymore
remove_url also gives an error, but still works

I use them all as packages.

If you find other url’s to block social media, you can always fork my repo and make a PR.

@sominaik
You can always make a file adguard-discord.txt file and add some url’s you can find on the web.

In adguard home you can search yourself for url’s, just have a look in the query log

Ok thanks for your reply.

Btw, it seems Instagram filter isn’t working … I tried but the app still works on the phone. Do you know notice the same?
