Amazon's core business is selling stuff to customers: additional latency might occasionally turn away a customer. In Amazon's scale, that's a million-dollar opportunity.
Facebook's core business is having users click on ads: at first, latency's role there might seem insignificant, but it is an interesting intellectual exercise to figure out whether it really matters in Facebook's scale.
Even more interesting would be if you had some data to show precisely how much.
