They should say it like it is, and FB having a high visibility platform is a plus. Just put a banner there saying those guys are idiots in an authoritarian power trip, and fuck them. After that you'll probably be found dead or something. So YMMV

Putting up banners with "fuck them" is not how companies work, and it is not a good communication strategy.

Some more subtle hints may work better, but generally, what Facebook says, "it can't be done" is the correct strategy.
