As of February 2025, it was found that men between the ages of 25 and 34 years made up Facebook's largest audience, accounting for 18.5 percent of global users. Additionally, Facebook's second-largest audience base could be found with men aged 18 to 24 years. Facebook connects the world Founded in 2004 and going public in 2012, Facebook is one of the biggest internet companies in the world with influence that goes beyond social media. It is widely considered as one of the Big Four tech companies, along with Google, Apple, and Amazon (all together known under the acronym GAFA). Facebook is the most popular social network worldwide and the company also owns three other billion-user properties: mobile messaging apps WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, as well as photo-sharing app Instagram. Facebook usersThe vast majority of Facebook users connect to the social network via mobile devices. This is unsurprising, as Facebook has many users in mobile-first online markets. Currently, India ranks first in terms of Facebook audience size with 378 million users. The United States, Brazil, and Indonesia also all have more than 100 million Facebook users each.

1) Data Introduction • The Facebook Data is a social network analysis data that can be used to identify key user groups that can contribute to business growth and develop recommendation strategies, including Facebook users' activity patterns, interactions, likes, friendships, gender, and age.

2) Data Utilization (1) Facebook Data has characteristics that: • This dataset consists of numerical and categorical variables such as user ID, gender, age, number of friends, number of likes (mobile/web), number of friend requests, number of likes received/sent, and frequency of activities, allowing you to analyze user-specific behavioral characteristics and interaction patterns from multiple angles. (2) Facebook Data can be used to: • Core User Group Targeting and Recommendation Strategies: Use key characteristics such as gender, age, frequency of activity, friends and likes to identify user groups that have a significant impact on business growth and to develop customized content and advertising recommendation strategies. • Analysis of Usage Behavior and Platform Trends: Mobile and Web-based Good By analyzing data such as distribution, age and gender activity patterns, and friend relationship formation, you can visually explore changes in user usage behavior and major trends within the platform.

The LiLaH-HAG dataset (HAG is short for hate-age-gender) consists of metadata on Facebook comments to Facebook posts of mainstream media in Great Britain, Flanders, Slovenia and Croatia. The metadata available in the dataset are the hatefulness of the comment (0 is acceptable, 1 is hateful), age of the commenter (0-25, 26-30, 36-65, 65-), gender of the commenter (M or F), and the language in which the comment was written (EN, NL, SL, HR). The hatefulness of the comment was assigned by multiple well-trained annotators by reading comments in the order of appearance in a discussion thread, while the age and gender variables were estimated from the Facebook profile of a specific user by a single annotator.

This statistical dataset contains estimates on the number of active online Facebook users living outside of their country of origin within the European Union. The dataset includes information on Facebook users' age, gender, country of residence, and country of previous residence. The data is divided in the number of Monthly Active Users and Daily Active Users. The data was collected through standard CSV format via an advertising API platform by using an R Studio code, and the data collection was conducted twice a month from January to November 2021.

The dataset was originally published in DiVA and moved to SND in 2024.

As of April 2024, Facebook had an addressable ad audience reach 131.1 percent in Libya, followed by the United Arab Emirates with 120.5 percent and Mongolia with 116 percent. Additionally, the Philippines and Qatar had addressable ad audiences of 114.5 percent and 111.7 percent.

Which county has the most Facebook users?

              There are more than 378 million Facebook users in India alone, making it the leading country in terms of Facebook audience size. To put this into context, if India’s Facebook audience were a country then it would be ranked third in terms of largest population worldwide. Apart from India, there are several other markets with more than 100 million Facebook users each: The United States, Indonesia, and Brazil with 193.8 million, 119.05 million, and 112.55 million Facebook users respectively.

              Facebook – the most used social media

              Meta, the company that was previously called Facebook, owns four of the most popular social media platforms worldwide, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Facebook, and Instagram. As of the third quarter of 2021, there were around 3,5 billion cumulative monthly users of the company’s products worldwide. With around 2.9 billion monthly active users, Facebook is the most popular social media worldwide. With an audience of this scale, it is no surprise that the vast majority of Facebook’s revenue is generated through advertising.

              Facebook usage by device
              As of July 2021, it was found that 98.5 percent of active users accessed their Facebook account from mobile devices. In fact, almost 81.8 percent of Facebook audiences worldwide access the platform only via mobile phone. Facebook is not only available through mobile browser as the company has published several mobile apps for users to access their products and services. As of the third quarter 2021, the four core Meta products were leading the ranking of most downloaded mobile apps worldwide, with WhatsApp amassing approximately six billion downloads.

As of April 2024, around 16.5 percent of global active Instagram users were men between the ages of 18 and 24 years. More than half of the global Instagram population worldwide was aged 34 years or younger.

              Teens and social media

              As one of the biggest social networks worldwide, Instagram is especially popular with teenagers. As of fall 2020, the photo-sharing app ranked third in terms of preferred social network among teenagers in the United States, second to Snapchat and TikTok. Instagram was one of the most influential advertising channels among female Gen Z users when making purchasing decisions. Teens report feeling more confident, popular, and better about themselves when using social media, and less lonely, depressed and anxious.
              Social media can have negative effects on teens, which is also much more pronounced on those with low emotional well-being. It was found that 35 percent of teenagers with low social-emotional well-being reported to have experienced cyber bullying when using social media, while in comparison only five percent of teenagers with high social-emotional well-being stated the same. As such, social media can have a big impact on already fragile states of mind.

Survey data collected in Canada, 2019. n = 1539. Using, Age, Facebook use and meme understanding to determine differences between demographics in relation to Instagram use

As of April 2024, almost 32 percent of global Instagram audiences were aged between 18 and 24 years, and 30.6 percent of users were aged between 25 and 34 years. Overall, 16 percent of users belonged to the 35 to 44 year age group.

              Instagram users

              With roughly one billion monthly active users, Instagram belongs to the most popular social networks worldwide. The social photo sharing app is especially popular in India and in the United States, which have respectively 362.9 million and 169.7 million Instagram users each.

              Instagram features

              One of the most popular features of Instagram is Stories. Users can post photos and videos to their Stories stream and the content is live for others to view for 24 hours before it disappears. In January 2019, the company reported that there were 500 million daily active Instagram Stories users. Instagram Stories directly competes with Snapchat, another photo sharing app that initially became famous due to it’s “vanishing photos” feature.
              As of the second quarter of 2021, Snapchat had 293 million daily active users.

Dataset Card for PANDA

  Dataset Summary

PANDA (Perturbation Augmentation NLP DAtaset) consists of approximately 100K pairs of crowdsourced human-perturbed text snippets (original, perturbed). Annotators were given selected terms and target demographic attributes, and instructed to rewrite text snippets along three demographic axes: gender, race and age, while preserving semantic meaning. Text snippets were sourced from a range of text corpora (BookCorpus, Wikipedia, ANLI… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/panda.

Purpose For the purpose of informing tobacco intervention programs, this dataset was created and used to explore how online social networks of smokers differed from those of nonsmokers. The study was a secondary analysis of data collected as part of a randomized control trial conducted within Facebook. (See "Other References" in "Metadata" for parent study information.) Basic description of 4 anonymized data files of study participants. fbr_friends: Anonymized Facebook friends networks, basic ego demographics, basic ego social media activity fbr_family: Anonymized Facebook family networks, basic ego demographics, basic ego social media activity fbr_photos: Anonymized Facebook photo networks, basic ego demographics, basic ego social media activity fbr_groups: Anonymized Facebook group networks, basic ego demographics, basic ego social media activity Each network comprises the ego, the ego's first degree connections, and the (second degree) connections between the ego's friends. Missing data and users who did not have friend, family, photo, or group networks were cleaned from the data beforehand. Each data file contains the following columns of data, taken with participant knowledge and consent participant_id: Nonidentifying ids assigned to different study participants. is_smoker: Binary value (0,1) that takes on the value 1 if participant was a smoker and 0 otherwise. gender: One of three categories: male, female, or blank, which signified Other (different from missing data). country: One of four categories: Canada (ca), US (us), Mexico (mx), or Other (xx). likes_count: Numeric data indicating number of Facebook likes the participant had made up to the date the data was collected. wall_count: Numeric data indicating number of Facebook wall posts the participant had made up to the date the data was collected. t_count_page_views: Numeric data indicating number of pages participant had visited in the UbiQUITous app up to the date the data was collected. yearsOld: Numeric data indicating age in years of the participant; right censored at 90 years for data anonymity. vertices: Number of people in the participant's network. edges: Number of connections between people in the network. density: The portion of potential connections in a network that are actual connections; a network-level metric; calculated after removing ego and isolates. mean_betweenness_centrality: An average of the relative importance of all individuals within their own network; a network-level metric; calculated after removing ego and isolates. transitivity: The extent to which the relationship between two nodes in a network that are connected by an edge is transitive (calculated as the number of triads divided by all possible connections); a network-level metric; calculated after removing ego and isolates. mean_closeness: Average of how closely associated members are to one another; a network-level metric; calculated after removing ego and isolates. isolates2: Number of individuals with no connections other than to the ego; a network-level metric. diameter3: Maximum degree of separation between any two individuals in the network; a network-level metric; calculated after removing ego and isolates. clusters3: Number of subnetworks; a network-level metric; calculated after removing ego and isolates. communities3: Number of groups, sorted to increase dense connections within the group and decrease sparse connections outside it (i.e., to maximize modularity); a network-level metric; calculated after removing ego and isolates. modularity3: The strength of division of a network into communities (calculated as the fraction of ties between community members in excess of the expected number of ties within communities if ties were random); a network-level metric. Detailed information on network metrics in the associated manuscript: "An exploration of the Facebook social networks of smokers and non-smokers" by Fu, L, Jacobs MA, Brookover J, Valente TW, Cobb NK, and Graham AL.
