I wish it was corporate suicide, but it's not. I have waited in vain for a scandal to break Facebook, but they always shake it off because people will not stop using their products. Tech companies put in concerted effort to be intertwined in all aspects of our lives and to make us dependent on them. They rule our lives, and they know it. They have the power and money to sway governments, and they have the power to control information to shape narratives and to stop people from organizing. If something like this somehow managed to cause a major scandal that they cannot suppress with their tech powers, they will simply blame the current CEO and go back to business as usual.
