Your confusion is showing.

external acl - (AKA external_acl_type) is a program or script which
returns OK/ERR and is used as an ACL test.

"dstdomain url_regex" - no such thing.

dstdomain - is a text test matching the domain of a request

url_regex - is a regular expression match against the entire full-URL.

dstdom_regex - is a regular expression match against teh domain name of
a request.

What I think you want is this:
   acl block dstdomain .facebook.com .linkedin.com

You then use the "block" ACL in http_access rules to allow/deny requests.
