I doubt the example in your second paragraph is remotely plausible. But I can see how someone might come up with a better example.
Btw, violating a patent isn't illegal in the criminal sense of murder being illegal. As far as I know patents are more about civil liability, and you'd have to sue Facebook for damages, don't you?
That would make doing business quite a lot more expensive for Facebook, of course. But wouldn't ban what they are doing outright.
