Thanks for your reply. An appropriate response from a website to this header
would omit the media content from the page served, with perhaps a static image
previewing (and liking to) the available content instead. In addition to being
far less annoying than the current situation, this would also offer bandwidth
savings on both ends of the conversation.

Such an approach would certainly be preferable to having to install things like
FlashBlock on the client side.
