“Facebook’s 2017 revenue was ~$40 Billion, so Facebook makes ~$110 Million per day.”
So this cost Facebook roughly a work week.

USA really needs day-fines.
One down, 49 states to go…
That’s the third perfectly sensible suggestion I’ve seen on BB today, where my instinctive reaction was, “but who will bell the cat?”.
