If everyone at Facebook stopped doing everything they do, it would continue running for a good long time. The content quality would decline. Big advertisers who need individually tailored relationships would leave, but expenses are low enough that would not kill it. The EU would impose fines for hateful content, but failing to pay would take a long time to adjudicate.

The same effects happen in failed LBOs all the time. Big companies crash slowly, and their ghosts linger.
