Shares plunged 19% on Thursday after executives warned that revenue growth would slow as the company focuses on user privacy.

The sell-off vaporized about $119 billion in market value — the biggest single-day loss for any public company in history, according to Thomson Reuters.

Losing a million dollars isn't cool, you know what's cool?

Losing 119 billion dollars.

They eviscerated mid term operating margins. Shook their valuation to the core.

The slowing user growth was predicted. The margin drop was not.

I have one but I’d be fine with it dying tbh. But then another one would just fill it’s vacuum in the social media world.

They do.

You'd think a conservative leaning social media company would make a killing given all the bitching about FB on this site. Same with YouTube.

Surely some conservative billionaire will build a competitor, no?

Or, maybe not.

It's still pretty alpha when you can lose that much and still be a billionaire.

We are coming up on the end of the month.

Monthly statements get in the mailbox on the 3rd or so.

“Hmmmm....ok... $8 bucks for the Latte at Starbucks on July 23rd. I totally remember that. What else? Oh, I bought a pair of Asics on the 24th. Enjoying those. Uhhh..paid the landscapers $200 on the 25th. Glad that is taken care of. Hedges look nice.

Honey, did we spend $16 billion last Thursday?”

I so want to use the Russ Hannemann "doors go like this" gif, but Zuck's going to need a lot more bad days for that.

You can smell the hubris of that shitty stock from a mile away. A very well-deserved fall from grace. FB earned this.

Meh, it's still an insanely successful company and not going away anytime soon.
