Amnesty International jump in with a gentle reminder.

Though the platforms were down for only seven hours, Zuckerberg took a $7billion hit along with his already diminished reputation dropping even further. That's a swift billion an hour. During the chaos invoked by all of their platforms going BRB at once, Facebook stockholders began selling, selling, selling, fearing a total company collapse. These seven hours were enough to shunt Zuckerberg down the wealthiest person list too, where he now sits below Bill Gates at number five.
