We had created a security policy to block all social media and it was working fine, then since two weeks we found that Social Media is working and when i check the security policy everything shows fine and I checked the logs it shows as deny but even then Youtube Facebook is working fine.

Hello @M.Ahmed136397
thanks for posting.
Could you please confirm how you blocked it?
Have you used URL Category "Social Networking" to block social media sites?
Have you used app-id to block it? I can see that app-id update 8967 released on 17th April, had below metadata changes that might affected your application blocking.
