The process shouldn’t take years of course. Once a court no matter how minor finds you guilty, you are guilty.
Now, you might want to appeal that to the next instance which makes it take years. But a court has already found you guilty.
In this case the law if it was sane should stipulate that the business either stop the violation during the appeal or risk the fine for the whole period of the appeal process if it turns out after appeal that you were guilty of the violation after all.
Facebook should have to seriously consider whether it’s worth the gamble to both fund the appeal process and pay the accumulating fines (which, again if the law is sane, amount to more than what FB would lose by simply stopping the violation).
