This is a new kind of scammer
I'm talking something like hblock (https://hblock.molinero.dev/) which is for host blocking malceous+ other websites. Imagine blocking every single address manually. To get a picture how impossible it be here is the sample hosts file (https://hblock.molinero.dev/hosts) just do line count and you will understand.

How can I find out which applications are communicating back to servers and stop them from doing so?
A quick and dirty solution is just using something likehBlock, that will block most unnecessary traffic (malware from Google, Meta, Microsoft, and generic advertising companies, etc.)

Are there any actual perks to using those large consolidated lists as opposed to the smaller lists they are made from?
An Australian got an error with their postal tracking app, compare Hagezi's "OK we'll whitelist it so your app doesn't break" vs hblock's "Meh, go report to the source list maintainer".

New blocklist added: hBlock
Yeah, definitely going to skip that list. Compare how Hagezi and hblock deal with the exact same issue, still not going to adopt it because the hype turns me off, but at least I prefer "ok, we make sure the site you visit doesn't break" compared to dismissive "oh it's a tracker so it's your fault".

Facebook Is Receiving Sensitive Medical Information from Hospital Websites
I set up a DNS entry in my hosts file for all facebook/meta domains (https://github.com/jmdugan/blocklists/blob/master/corporatio...) to be blocked (routed to 0.0.0.0). The effectively blocks any data from the "pixel" because when it tries to send it, the request fails.
