Remember when sexual assault and harassment were routine, and powerful men could do what they wanted with impunity? There was an awakening, the public mood changed, people were energized and emboldened to take action. What used to be an open secret is now taboo and many powerful men have been fired and disgraced. Remember the awakening about the unhealthy effects of sugary carbonated beverages? That wasn't a one-time fad as sales of soda in the US have dropped every year for the last 12 years. Similar awakenings are now happening in economics, politics, law enforcement, and now digital rights and privacy. I'd be very surprised if the outrage fades away with no serious damage to Facebook. Quitting Facebook leads to higher levels of well-being [1]. People are waking up to this reality, just like they woke up to the dangers of smoking, and it's long-term negative for Facebook and their shareholders.
