Comment:

 You could do something like this:

 {{{
 define( 'MY_BLOCKED_HOSTS', 'github.com,gitlab.com' );

 add_filter( 'pre_http_request', function ( $result, $args, $url ) {
         $hosts = wp_parse_list( MY_BLOCKED_HOSTS );

         if ( in_array( wp_parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_HOST ), $hosts, true )
 ) {
                 return new WP_Error( 'http_request_not_executed', __(
 'User has blocked requests through HTTP.' ) );
         }

         return $result;
 }, 10, 3 );
 }}}

 FYI: I'm adding the `close` keyword to indicate that this probably doesn't
 need changing in WordPress Core. The `2nd-opinion` is for another Core
 contributor to take a look and see if they disagree.
