Yes, unfortunately, in the case of FB there is.

For them. Fortunately for the rest of us, they have a solid foot on the ground both in NL and Ireland.

I see. For a second it seemed you were defending Facebook!

I would not rule it out on principle but it is highly unlikely.

If FB were to be shut down tomorrow I would probably not even notice.

Based just on the fact that you are on HN, this is, uhm... highly unlikely.

By the way, I wonder how it would actually look like. I mean, if FB was actually blocked in Germany or something like that, I imagine people (the victims of FB crimes) would very much vocally defend FB, claiming they don't give a fuck about their privacy. Which I cannot decide if it's funny or not.
