They can just ask their ISPs to remove facebook.com from their DNS. That'll remove 80% of the users. If that doesn't work, they'll just have to ask their ISPs to block traffic to facebook and their associated IPs. It's not like they can't just install DPI equipment.

Wel, they could, but ISP's (as well as regulators btw) are fairly reluctant to block 'popular' services. Companies generally use the legal system to fight back. They don't go around just ignoring laws when caught or scoff at verdicts. Facebook has already said they will comply but appeal.
