When an ad executive is calling you out for doing whatever it takes to make money... you know you’ve got problems.
Oh, I don't think that quite describes this. Someone else is calling out Facebook for lack of morals. Then the press goes to advertisers for comment. Advertiser then say "shocked, shocked, this will hurt them terribly. We, ourselves, are always upstanding and penalize immoral actors terribly." And yeah, from a fairly immoral bunch of folks, who would think that what they say and what they do would be different?
I would be "shocked, shocked" myself.
Plus I'd assume revenue, not stock price, is the thing to watch.
