The company's online advertising system suffered a major setback in 2021 when Apple introduced an iOS privacy update that weakened its ability to track users across the web. Meta in February 2022 said that the privacy changes would cost it $10 billion in revenue.Meta指出，其在人工智能方面的大量投资有助于改善其在线广告平台的性能，这是其销售额增长的原因之一。2021年，当苹果推出iOS隐私更新削弱了Meta跨网站追踪用户的能力时，该公司的在线广告系统遭遇了重大挫折。Meta在2022年2月表示，这些隐私变化将使其损失100亿美元的收入。 In late 2022, Zuckerberg instituted a major cost-cutting plan that extended into the next year and ultimately resulted in 21,000 Meta workers losing their jobs, or roughly a quarter of the company's workforce.2022年底，扎克伯格实施了一项重大的成本削减计划，该计划一直延续到次年，最终导致2.1万名Meta员工失业，约占公司员工总数的四分之一。 Investors reacted favorably to Meta's cost cutting while the company's online advertising business began to rebound and was bolstered by the massive digital ad spending campaigns by Chinese-linked retailers Temu and Shien.Meta的成本削减措施得到了投资者的积极反应，同时该公司的在线广告业务也开始反弹，并得到了中国关联零售商Temu和Shein的大规模数字广告支出活动的支持。 While Meta has continued spending billions of dollars on the virtual and augmented reality technologies needed to underpin the futuristic concept of the metaverse, investors have become more tolerant of the investments as long as the company's core ad business remains healthy. Last week, Meta debuted its Orion AR glasses, which garnered positive reviews from the few people who have tested the prototype.虽然Meta继续在虚拟和增强现实技术上投入数十亿美元，以支撑元宇宙这一未来主义概念，但只要公司的核心广告业务保持稳健，投资者对这些投资的容忍度就越来越高。上周，Meta推出了Orion AR眼镜，少数测试过原型机的人给出了积极评价。
