Of these, some accounts are not legitimate and their proportion of the whole debate is based. In an effort to clarify, Facebook gave its own estimate and estimated 8.7% rate of atypical or accounts not meeting the network's charter.
This represents 83 million accounts, up significantly compared to 5-6% previously estimated in March but is actually a refinement of measures. The 8.7% of fake accounts are detailed by Facebook as follows:
4.8% of duplicate accounts (in addition to a main account)
2.4% of atypical accounts (accounts representing a non-human or animal)
1.5% of unwanted accounts (accounts created to send spam, for example)
