$GOOGL doesn't give guidance. $META does. When asked about the Middle East, META said it was causing Ads to be soft in Oct. That is what tanked it. Big mistake, Big, Huge.
BTW - The State Attorney's suing META for being addictive. But I don't think the States saw the META
VR Virtual Reality yet. When they do, it's going to hit the fan. I don't think the states will win for FB or Instagram, and Reels (version of tiktok) because all of the other social media like TikTok and Snap are worse. But the META is another story. META is creep city. Pedo galore.
