Slowing growth isn’t the same as negative growth. Facebook is already saturated with the vast majority of consumers in the rich world. Surely growth is going to slow because the remaining unwashed billions don’t have computers yet, and even if they did, they don’t have much to spend. Growth is slowing not because people are signing up else where, rather, there are fewer and fewer people left to sign up.
