Three years ago, those regions accounted for some 38 percent of users, compared with about 30 percent in the first quarter of this year. Yet perhaps stewarding a 2 billion person community is responsibility enough to get out of Silicon Valley and figure out how Facebook impacts people’s lives. But neither does the colossal impact Facebook has had on society, which it’s now trying to bend towards positivity with its new mission statement to “Give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.”

“There’s a deep sense of responsibility in every part of the company” Cox told TechCrunch. 2 billion makes Facebook the largest social app in terms of logged-in users, above YouTube’s 1.5 billion, WeChat’s 889 million, Twitter’s 328 million, and Snapchat’s estimated 255 million (extrapolated from its December 2015 ratio when it had 110 million daily and 170 million monthly users).
Facebook, Inc. announces that its social media service now has 2 billion regular users, more than a quarter of the world's population. Twitter, by comparison, has 328 million users as of April 2017.
