> thats not even a fourth of humanity. And only 40% of humanity has an internet connection [0]. If we subtract the 22% from China, then yes, more than 50% of people who are able to access www.facebook.com have an account and visit it at least once a month.

No, I don't. I never said that and don't know why you're trying to argue this against me. Seriously? I'm not saying whether or not they should, just that they already have.
