Nah, just leave. Tomorrow morning. Unless you need a few days to download a few internal documents that you believe the world should see.
If you work at Facebook, I'm reasonably certain you (including family) won't starve. By delaying you will also risk losing the courage of conviction. Because anger dulls over time.
Delaying also diminishes the effect of leaving, because the causality is no longer obvious. Imagine the power a mass exodus would have! With the significance the workforce has in this sector, it would instantly become the most significant motivation to behave ethically beyond the minimum required by law.

imagine adding this to your resume: 2018: I protest quit my job at facebook because of a comment on hacker news about a news story about a new story. The advice to think important personal decisions through is good.

It’s about much more than a news story..
And you can put whatever you want in your resume. Doesn’t need to say protest quit

Notice how easy it is tell others what to do.
Do consider leaving if you think it is warranted (personally, I do), but do not rush. Write a short note to yourself on what you want to do and why, then think hard about this at least once a week, but keep going for a month. If in a month this still seems like the way to go, leave (and if not, stay; there is no shame it that).
That way you also build up resolve to stick to your guns if you get a last minute appeal to stay -- this is a lot easier if you thought about your decision for a long time and decided that what you are doing is right for you. My 2c.
