It's been a tumultuous year for Facebook. The company has tried to get past the data scandal that occurred earlier this year, but new revelations continue to add fuel to the fire. Word recently broke that Facebook faces a 500,000 pound fine -- about $663,000 at current exchange rates -- imposed by British authorities who allege Facebook failed to protect user data. So far, these issues haven't stopped the stock, which is within striking distance of its all-time highs.Facebook previously showed no ill effects from the controversy surrounding its data sharing policies when it reported significant growth in the first quarter, and we may see the same again.
