Outright banning it tends to be relatively unpopular though. That said, this is pretty different since you'd just get social pressure to move to an EU alternative.

Unlike alcohol there are substitutes. If Facebook was banned, people would just use the next social network.

They would all move to the same one, including restaurants, events, meetings, etc? Everyone's older family members included? Sounds like it would be disruptive.
