Facebook is "dieing" as much horny guys acting inappropriate towards women has been "solved".

Basically, not at all unless you live in some strange activist bubble that has nothing to do with the real world.

All this really did was create a nice buying opportunity yesterday in FB stock.

You're probably right, though I'm sad about that. For a lot of people FB use seems almost like cigarettes. I mean, not that order of magnitude, but same idea. Doesn't really matter what bad news comes out because it's so habit forming.

The bad news has to be truly existential to make a real difference.

It doesn't seem understood here that for many Facebook is for events, sharing some life updates with friends and family, and messenger, not compulsively scrolling your newsfeed to find articles about Trump's plan or something
