I wonder how correct those numbers are.
Looking at the Philippines, it says they have 91.9 million active users. That's for a population of 113.9 million people (estimate, their latest 2020 census only had 109 million). That means 80% of the TOTAL population of the Philippines is active on Facebook?
Then when you look at the population pyramid you have 30% of that 113 million under 14 years old (around 34 million).
Something does not add up here...
But then again, I don't know too many Filipino people, so who am I to say that every person in the Philippines capable of holding a phone is not actually an active Facebook user?
- peanuty1 3y agoI guess active users counts anyone that opens Facebook for even one second. Not necessarily people who are using the app in a meaningful way.
- cameronh90 3y agoMy partner is Filipino and if anything 80% is an under-estimate. That country literally runs on Facebook. Also, they just elected a dictator's son, which may be related.
