Facebook is a social networking platform created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and co-founders Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. It allows users to connect with friends, family, and communities online. Users can share posts, photos, and videos, send messages, and engage in various activities such as joining groups, creating events, and following public figures or pages.
Originally designed for college students, Facebook quickly expanded to a broader audience and is now one of the most widely used social media platforms globally. Facebook is part of Meta Platforms, Inc., which also owns Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus VR. Over time, Facebook has become a significant platform for news, advertising, and business engagement.
