Is it technically possible to block specific Facebook pages (for example, facebook.com/examplepage) or specific YouTube channels (for example, youtube.com/channel/UC123456789) using FortiGate, while still allowing general access to Facebook and YouTube, in an environment where users access the internet via both computers and mobile devices?
Hi amen_abdi,
You can Block Facebook while allowing Messenger

To restrict YouTube channels using video filtering, please refer to the document below:

Note that for versions higher than 7.4.x, the configuration is slightly different, because the 'config videofilter youtube-channel-filter' feature line is not available. Only available 'Keyword", 'profile' and 'youtube-key'
If you have found a solution, please like and accept it to make it easily accessible to others.
Regards,
Aman
