The two billion active monthly users –over a quarter of the global population of 7.5 billion– have now reached Facebook, as Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO, has officially announced.
The number of users is now bigger than the population of six of the seven continents (except Asia) and certainly of any country on Earth.
The number of monthly users includes those who used Facebook from a desktop or mobile device within the last 30 days and not those who used “Instagram” or “WhatsApp” but not Facebook itself.
The new milestone was achieved only 13 years after the creation of Facebook, which doubled its users in less than five years, as in October 2012 it had one billion users who used it once in a month. On 31st March 2017 it had 1.94 billion users.
Zuckerberg, however, has even greater ambitions, according to BBC and Reuters and French agency. As he said, he did not “make a lot of fanfare” for the two billion users, because:
“we still have not connected everyone, what we care for is to be able to connect everyone!”
By comparison, Twitter had 328 million active monthly users in April and Snapchat 166 million at the end of the first quarter this year.
Aiming even higher, Facebook announced on Monday that -in collaboration with other companies- it will begin -by the end of this summer- to make productions of its own high quality television series as well as telecasts, which will broadcast from its platform, invading In the “fields” of “Netflix”, “Amazon” and “Hulu”.
