Facebook’s shares dropped by around 4.5 per cent as its investors continued to resist against the platform’s indefinite ban of US President Donald Trump’s account.
As a result of the fall, $33.6 billion was slashed from Facebook's market cap at intraday lows. The shares recuperated a tad bit to trade at 2.6 per cent in the red, Business Insider reports.
The company’s stocks ended up falling more than that of any firm in the S&P 500 sector. As per reports, Facebook’s investors are alarmed that the Trump’s supporters might leave the platform en masse to join another social networking site.
