Facebook and gmail apps are all using TLS protocol. To block them, you need to enable "HTTPS black list":

1. To block facebook, you need to block https "*facebook.com".

2. To block gmail, you need to block "*.google.com". This will lead to over blocking of google other services.

3. To block skype, you simple need to check "block skype" in "Messengers" of WFilter.
