If I could short FB I would do so immediately. The fallout from this is going to be immense and long-term

That makes me wonder if there is some malicious self-interest behind this. Here's the formula:

ubiquitous yet misunderstood personal technology + sensationalist media + power of suggestion + deliberate astroturfing campaign = sudden and immense drop in stock price.

Not that I actually think this is the case, but it wouldn't be outside the realm of the possible.

Well, it happened. FB dropped about 15% over the course of one day, probably thanks to this.
