I wouldn't call it nearly everyone when there are 7 billion people in the world and only 1 billion of those are on Facebook.
- s_henry_paulson 14y agoThat number seems a bit much. Aside from even teenagers with multiple accounts, pets, and such.. let's not forget spammers. They'll create accounts as fast as they can. Just google search for buying facebook accounts, and you'll find a simple paypal transaction will get you thousands of phone verified accounts. Even if facebook can claim 500 million active users, I would question how many of them are actual people.
- swombat 14y agoQuestion all you want... I don't actually know any people IRL who don't have an active or semi-active Facebook account (except a handful of contrarian geeks, of course). Nearly everyone is on Facebook.
