- If Facebook were a country, it would be the third in the world after China (1.34 billion) and India (1.17 billion). More than half of its "inhabitants", approximately 600 million are connecting from a mobile device, and 522 million access the site every day.

- The United States has the largest number of Facebook users (166 million), followed by Brazil (58 million), India (55 million), Indonesia (47 million) and Mexico (38 million) (figures socialbakers.com). Facebook is the first online community in most countries. Among the few exceptions are Russia, where it has 10 million users, but is preceded by VKontakte and Odnoklassniki, and China, where it is forbidden.
