Facebook's Fame

Facebook (FB) continues to amaze me with its success. After the data leaking scandal, I didn't know how Facebook's stock would react. Weeks after CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, testified before Congress, Facebook's stock is soaring higher than ever before. Currently, one share of Facebook is worth $193.93. I own some shares of Facebook and I'm definitely profiting. However, the issue of Facebook's privacy infringements are no where near being over. On May 22, Zuckerberg testified before the European Parliament on data privacy and agreed to have it live streamed. Now, Russian politicians are pressuring Zuckerberg to testify before them as well.

On another note, it's true that Facebook is very versatile, allowing users to post single pictures, picture albums, videos, comments, and more. On top of sharing pictures and videos, I know many school teams and clubs use Facebook for organizing events and group messaging. However, I didn't think Facebook resonated much popularity among young people anymore, yet it still remains quite successful. The apps I see young people using on a day-to-day basis are most likely Snapchat (SNAP), Instagram (owned by Facebook), or Twitter (TWTR). For those that do have a Facebook, do you use it daily? For those that don't, why don't you have one, and what apps do you use most often instead?
