News from last week:

Facebook suffers biggest one-day fall in history as shares plunge over 26%

More than $230bn wiped off the value of Meta making stock market history.

Most concerning was a never-before-seen drop in Facebook’s daily user numbers.

Anyway, I think facebook is too big to fail.

That's not true. Nobody needs to crack any encryption. Check my other comment with 3 links.

No paywall when uBlock Origin is used. It's not the solution but still...
