This filter is classified internally by µBlock as a _high-medium generic_ filter. High generic filters are the most challenging to implement performance-wise. High-medium generic filters are implemented as follow: All the high-medium generic filters which matches the 8 first characters of the URL of a link on a web page will be seen as relevant to the web page and thus a CSS selector based on these filters will be injected in the web page, in order to hide the unwanted links. Now the above filter, as per implementation happens to match the ubiquitous links to `WWW.FACEbook.com`, and thus will be inserted as a CSS selector whenever links to Facebook are found on a web page.
High generic filters are the most challenging to implement performance-wise. µBlock internally classifies high generic filters into three sub-categories, _high-low_, _high-medium_ and _high-high_ generic. The filter above is classified internally by µBlock as a _high-medium_ generic filter.

The problem with the comment section at [Star-Telegram](http://www.star-telegram.com/) is due to the use of _EasyPrivacy_ list. I found the problem also occurs with _Adblock Plus_ if _EasyPrivacy_ is checked. ([test page](http://www.star-telegram.com/2014/06/24/5922649/us-plans-child-migrant-processing.html) where I spotted the problem.)
