Mr. Zuckberberg said he believed the increased revenue that tech companies experienced during the pandemic would continue.
“Not only has online commerce returned to prior trends, but the macroeconomic downturn, increased competition, and ads signal loss have caused our revenue to be much lower than I’d expected,” he wrote. “I got this wrong, and I take responsibility for that.”
