Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/alexal1/Insomniac/issues/129

I've been successfully using Insomniac on Memu for a while now, and the other day I had an idea. I installed Blokada (it's an ad blocker, which can also be used to block various calls made by apps) and I noticed that it is blocking calls like graph.instagram.com, i.instagram.com, as well as some facebook calls (see screenshot - IG is the only app I have installed in Memu, so all of these calls are being made by IG). This doesn't prevent Insomniac from working smoothly, so I was wondering if somehow this is actually preventing IG from measuring my activity, so they can't flag "unusual / non human" behavior. This is just a hunch, as I don't know what the graph.instagram.com & i.instagram.com actually do, does anyone know? Many thanks
