Should Facebook Investors Respond More to Antitrust Concerns?

If you're anything like me, then you're tired of news outlets reporting on Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) data and privacy scandals like this-is-the-one-that's-actually going-to-have-a-long-term-effect-on-the-company. The last debacle, a possible FTC injunction , was little more than an opportunity for swing traders (just like all of the other debacles).

Investors do more than forgive Facebook's bad behavior – they reward it.

Facebook is the type of company that ignores tax summons from the IRS and pays off $5 billion FTC fines like a parking ticket. It would seem as though data and privacy advocates have no chance against this politically connected, ultra-rich behemoth.
