(CNN) - Facebook's investors don't "like" what happened Wednesday on Wall Street.

The social network's stock fell about 24-percent in after-hours trading.

This slide followed an earnings report that revealed lackluster growth in revenue and ad revenue.

Facebook took a beating from critics in the aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

That's when the firm took information from nearly 90-million Facebook users without permission.

Experts say Facebook's revenue growth will likely struggle for a while as officials adjust and deal with privacy concerns.
