Twitter Stocks Plummet Amidst Social Media Sphere Implosion

A lot has been said about the recent scandals involving Cambridge Analytica and the Facebook datamining breach that has Members of Parliament in the UK and EU wanting Zuckerberg to testify, but the Federal Election Commission also wants to talk to Mark Zuckerberg as well as Alphabet (parent company of Google) CEO Larry Page and Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey. Judging from the charts, Twitter investors are already fearing for the worst.

In between members of Congress and the Federal Election Commission wanting Jack Dorsey to testify and the datamining breach at Facebook, an ill-fated ad at Snapchat suggesting either slapping singer Rihanna or singer Chris Brown and a lawsuit from the Israeli government, it seems to be a full-scale implosion of the social media sphere.

Since the Israeli government's threatened legal action alleging that Twitter is ignoring requests to remove content that "suggests violence against the state" Twitter has taken a major hit. Currently, the social media platform's stock is down 5% just since the announcement according to Business Insider. Facebook lost $35 billion worth of value already this week as well.
