 [Running WP version 5.2.4 which is not listed as an option in the
 "version" dropdown menu.]

 If I paste a Facebook URL into a blank Gutenburg block, it usually embeds
 the Facebook post into my WordPress post.  Even though it can't preview
 within the editor for whatever reason, it still appears in the post.

 Tonight, that changed.  When I paste in a Facebook post URL, it says
 "Sorry, this content could not be embedded."  There are then buttons to
 "try again" (which only produces the same result) or "Convert to Link,"
 which is useless because if I just wanted a plain link, I would have
 written some text and just linked it to begin with.

 Making matters worse, if I view an older post where an FB embed was
 previously successful, the space where the post appeared is now just
 blank.  It's as if the embed was never there to begin with.  Looks really
 lame when the previous paragraph introduces the Facebook embed, and then
 it isn't there.
