Facebook (FB)
Last year was a rough year for Facebook, as it dealt with fallout from its privacy breaches and role in meddling in the 2016 elections. CEO Mark Zuckerberg was called before Congress and grilled. It wasn’t a good look. This year, however, came some practical consequences: Facebook settled with the Federal Trade Commission for $5 billion over its handling of user data and deceptive communications to users. That said, markets brushed that off, and despite the specter of further regulation as big tech firms come under the spotlight of domestic and international regulators, Facebook – which owns Instagram and WhatsApp as well – remains one of the best tech stocks to buy.
