270 million fake accounts? That's huge.

Sometimes is not safe to use facebook, it"s because there is to many fake accounts and hackers manipulated all those method. hoping that the facebook founder giving much more time to this issue.

Some Facebook accounts are accounts for pets! lol A lot of people have accounts like that. It would be interesting to see how many accounts are pets and how many are real. There are also accounts created by fans for characters, video game characters, movie characters, that's kinda funny too.

Hopefully quickly processed and become better again for the future

270 million fake account in USA or world..
@themarkymark

The US population is around 320M people, so the number of fake accounts is near that.

ow sorry

well, we cant do anything for the spammers...just stay away from them..

What's Facebook?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Loll...old junkyard😂

I wonder if the people who have more than one account - like one for their professional life and one for friends - are counted in this number, because I know a few people have said they do that.

To be honest, I'm surprised they mentioned only 270m possible accounts. I would have thought it were closer to 400-450m.

Then again, by now everybody knows that FB's metrics are not to be trusted. Just like fake news didn't influence the elections either.

damn

Yep, on Facebook there is almost obvious that some accounts are fake. I wonder what numbers are for Steemit accounts right now.

from what I understand, about 400K accounts and about 10-20K active users.

Thanks for the info, that's pretty few active users compared to the account. I don't know, is this a good thing?

great info thanks for sharing

Definitely worth an upvote and a resteem :]

Thanks
