FB seems to be plagued consistently of scandals and seems to be consistently bugged with regulations from national governments ahead. Do you ever see this ending?

Focus on the company growth and financial instead. The regulation are always an unknown and anything can happen.

If the figures are strong, the company will grow naturally with or without external factors.

Do I ever see this ending? I frankly don't. Simply because we are shifting to a society of social media where there are many grey areas / few laws passed regarding this particular aspect. Hence I do foresee more of such data breaches etc. but I think this is just one of the repurcussions that one has to face and I believe Facebook would come out of this unscathed
