+### `prevent_media_downloads_from`
+
+A list of domains to never download media from. Media from these
+domains that is already downloaded will not be deleted, but will be
+inaccessible to users. This option does not affect admin APIs trying
+to download/operate on media.
+
+This will not prevent the listed domains from accessing media themselves.
+It simply prevents users on this server from downloading media originating
+from the listed servers.
+
+This will have no effect on media originating from the local server.
+This only affects media downloaded from other Matrix servers, to
+block domains from URL previews see [`url_preview_url_blacklist`](#url_preview_url_blacklist).
+
+Defaults to an empty list (nothing blocked).
+
+Example configuration:
+```yaml
+prevent_media_downloads_from:
+  - evil.example.org
+  - evil2.example.org
+```
