Reeling? Maybe they mean FB is reeling in new users. Because the stock is not appreciably down from where it was before the NYT report came out.

Democrats have a seething anger toward Facebook because of the Russian ads that, in their minds, cost them the election.

We can capitalize on this by reminding them Zuckerberg originally laughed off any claims Russian Facebook ads influenced the election in anyway.

That made them even angrier at the time and Facebook quickly 'conceded' Facebook was wrong to accept money for the Russian ads.

Too little too late. Democrats still blame Facebook and Democrats want revenge through regulations.

Russian firm tied to pro-Kremlin propaganda advertised on Facebook during election

FB gets money from selling user data. In the long run, the NYT article can cut the number of new users, and thus help to bring FB down. The question is, how stupid are the people in the world who have not signed up, and those who have signed up and will give up more of their data when FB threatens to kick them off if they don’t comply?
