I really don't think this is big disaster for FB. In all likelyhood, this is what they exactly want right now - public sympathy for taking flake for otherwise very critical mistakes. FB is known to be able to precisely adjust their quarterly results by simply controlling the flow of ads within certain margin. Zuck didn't said without reason that it would take "3 years" to recover. That timeline coincides with 2020 election + 1 year when this whole hoopla should have been died out and FB will be back to beating street expectations. If mid-term goes smooth then we might even see this earlier. The point here is that FB really has good control of results that they want to deliver.
