Facebook shares plummet on tiny shortfall in predicted growth

I suspect much of the drop was in reaction to a number of measures Facebook has claimed they will take (perhaps half-hearted, quite possibly insufficient, but still on paper in the right direction) to reduce some of their worst excesses, at the cost of not absolutely maximizing growth.

I’d cheer FB’s stock price drop a bit more, if it didn’t seem so much like celebrating the fact that FB is being punished for being a tiny bit responsible.
