Description

File URL: https://github.com/patrickhulce/third-party-web/blob/master/data/entities.js

I noticed that of the 2119 entities, only 424 have a company field. Maybe it would be useful if the ones that belong to the same company had a matching company field, at least for the biggest companies. I could add company: 'Meta' to the Facebook and Instagram entities.

There’s also a big list of Facebook/Meta domains in the contain-facebook repo, but I didn’t find any of the other domains in entities.js.

Research direction

Start with data/entities.js and inspect the Facebook and Instagram entity records, then compare the related domain list in contain-facebook/src/background.js. Determine which entities are in scope for a shared company value and update the data consistently; done means the intended Facebook/Meta entities have matching company fields without unrelated changes.
