There's a balance between breaking the web and being as strict as possible. Saying we fully allow Facebook tracking isn't right [1], but we admittedly need more strict-mode like settings for privacy conscious users.
We do block Facebook at least as good as uBlock origin with EasyPrivacy. The referenced code is in a separate component which does the same as Disconnect blocking.
We're taking this seriously internally and we'll iterate on where we are to improve the situation. We're looking at if we can polyfill a local JS resource instead for example as one option if it doesn't make further requests.
The related commits are years old. This isn't new. Last commit to that line was 3 years ago with the comment "unblocking embedding of twitter timelines".
I'm trying to figure out if the code is still active case, but this is a quite recent ticket (after the release of the Chromium-based edition, and updated 4 days ago)
Then link to the new repo and provide context. Just highlighting a line with absolutely no context is sensationalist. I'm sure there have been public discussions about this.

Can you substantiate this? Because that would be extremely relevant to the conversation. Making statements with absolutely no context just seems sensationalistic.
If you're sure that there's been public discussion about the matter, then surely you won't have to spend too much time looking it up on Google? Backing up assertions takes energy. Are you motivated enough to champion your own assertions?
