Can't they just block facebook.com as whole and call it a day ?

The perfect solution.

I agree. Make a pop-up and tell the user Facebook is determined to monetize and track every moment they're on the site. If they want to continue they'll get an unfiltered experience and may God have mercy on their souls.

Honestly, I'd be fine with this. A full block and some message saying underlining these details and forcing the user to disable adblock if they really want to proceed.
