For $12 you can buy a put at FB's current price ($85) for Jan 2017. But FB has real profits, so you may not wanna bet too much against them. They're also locking up users' Internet access in many markets, making it literally impossible to run a competitor (without negotiating the same ISP access). Perhaps look at Splunk, which does great not only in losing money, but accelerating those losses. (Er, I mean, they "focus on top-line growth".) But hey, maybe they can cut their costs by over 2 (eliminating all R&D wouldn't be enough) but keep the revenue coming in. Then they could be profitable before other systems and hardware catch up. They're only 12 years old, so it's still very early in their long-term story.
