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.

Dataset Info:

MyDigitalFootprint (MDF) is a novel large-scale dataset composed of smartphone embedded sensors data, physical proximity information, and Online Social Networks interactions aimed at supporting multimodal context-recognition and social relationships modelling in mobile environments. The dataset includes two months of measurements and information collected from the personal mobile devices of 31 volunteer users by following the in-the-wild data collection approach: the data has been collected in the users' natural environment, without limiting their usual behaviour. Existing public datasets generally consist of a limited set of context data, aimed at optimising specific application domains (human activity recognition is the most common example). On the contrary, the dataset contains a comprehensive set of information describing the user context in the mobile environment.

The complete analysis of the data contained in MDF has been presented in the following publication:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1574119220301383?via%3Dihub

The full anonymised dataset is contained in the folder MDF. Moreover, in order to demonstrate the efficacy of MDF, there are three proof of concept context-aware applications based on different machine learning tasks:

1. A social link prediction algorithm based on physical proximity data,
2. The recognition of daily-life activities based on smartphone-embedded sensors data,
3. A pervasive context-aware recommender system.

For the sake of reproducibility, the data used to evaluate the proof-of-concept applications are contained in the folders link-prediction, context-recognition, and cars, respectively.

More than 100 social media channels and statistics for the National Archives and Records Administration.

As of January 2024, Instagram was slightly more popular with men than women, with men accounting for 50.6 percent of the platform’s global users. Additionally, the social media app was most popular amongst younger audiences, with almost 32 percent of users aged between 18 and 24 years.

              Instagram’s Global Audience

              As of January 2024, Instagram was the fourth most popular social media platform globally, reaching two billion monthly active users (MAU). This number is projected to keep growing with no signs of slowing down, which is not a surprise as the global online social penetration rate across all regions is constantly increasing.
              As of January 2024, the country with the largest Instagram audience was India with 362.9 million users, followed by the United States with 169.7 million users.

              Who is winning over the generations?

              Even though Instagram’s audience is almost twice the size of TikTok’s on a global scale, TikTok has shown itself to be a fierce competitor, particularly amongst younger audiences. TikTok was the most downloaded mobile app globally in 2022, generating 672 million downloads. As of 2022, Generation Z in the United States spent more time on TikTok than on Instagram monthly.

How much time do people spend on social media?

              As of 2024, the average daily social media usage of internet users worldwide amounted to 143 minutes per day, down from 151 minutes in the previous year. Currently, the country with the most time spent on social media per day is Brazil, with online users spending an average of three hours and 49 minutes on social media each day. In comparison, the daily time spent with social media in
              the U.S. was just two hours and 16 minutes. Global social media usageCurrently, the global social network penetration rate is 62.3 percent. Northern Europe had an 81.7 percent social media penetration rate, topping the ranking of global social media usage by region. Eastern and Middle Africa closed the ranking with 10.1 and 9.6 percent usage reach, respectively.
              People access social media for a variety of reasons. Users like to find funny or entertaining content and enjoy sharing photos and videos with friends, but mainly use social media to stay in touch with current events friends. Global impact of social mediaSocial media has a wide-reaching and significant impact on not only online activities but also offline behavior and life in general.
              During a global online user survey in February 2019, a significant share of respondents stated that social media had increased their access to information, ease of communication, and freedom of expression. On the flip side, respondents also felt that social media had worsened their personal privacy, increased a polarization in politics and heightened everyday distractions.

MultiSocial is a dataset (described in a paper) for multilingual (22 languages) machine-generated text detection benchmark in social-media domain (5 platforms). It contains 472,097 texts, of which about 58k are human-written and approximately the same amount is generated by each of 7 multilingual large language models by using 3 iterations of paraphrasing. The dataset has been anonymized to minimize amount of sensitive data by hiding email addresses, usernames, and phone numbers.

If you use this dataset in any publication, project, tool or in any other form, please, cite the a paper.

Disclaimer

Due to data source (described below), the dataset may contain harmful, disinformation, or offensive content. Based on a multilingual toxicity detector, about 8% of the text samples are probably toxic (from 5% in WhatsApp to 10% in Twitter). Although we have used data sources of older date (lower probability to include machine-generated texts), the labeling (of human-written text) might not be 100% accurate. The anonymization procedure might not successfully hiden all the sensitive/personal content; thus, use the data cautiously (if feeling affected by such content, report the found issues in this regard to dpo[at]kinit.sk). The intended use if for non-commercial research purpose only.

Data Source

The human-written part consists of a pseudo-randomly selected subset of social media posts from 6 publicly available datasets:

1. Telegram data originated in Pushshift Telegram, containing 317M messages (Baumgartner et al., 2020). It contains messages from 27k+ channels. The collection started with a set of right-wing extremist and cryptocurrency channels (about 300 in total) and was expanded based on occurrence of forwarded messages from other channels. In the end, it thus contains a wide variety of topics and societal movements reflecting the data collection time.

2. Twitter data originated in CLEF2022-CheckThat! Task 1, containing 34k tweets on COVID-19 and politics (Nakov et al., 2022, combined with Sentiment140, containing 1.6M tweets on various topics (Go et al., 2009).

3. Gab data originated in the dataset containing 22M posts from Gab social network. The authors of the dataset (Zannettou et al., 2018) found out that “Gab is predominantly used for the dissemination and discussion of news and world events, and that it attracts alt-right users, conspiracy theorists, and other trolls.” They also found out that hate speech is much more prevalent there compared to Twitter, but lower than 4chan's Politically Incorrect board.

4. Discord data originated in Discord-Data, containing 51M messages. This is a long-context, anonymized, clean, multi-turn and single-turn conversational dataset based on Discord data scraped from a large variety of servers, big and small. According to the dataset authors, it contains around 0.1% of potentially toxic comments (based on the applied heuristic/classifier).

5. WhatsApp data originated in whatsapp-public-groups, containing 300k messages (Garimella & Tyson, 2018). The public dataset contains the anonymised data, collected for around 5 months from around 178 groups. Original messages were made available to us on request to dataset authors for research purposes.

From these datasets, we have pseudo-randomly sampled up to 1300 texts (up to 300 for test split and the remaining up to 1000 for train split if available) for each of the selected 22 languages (using a combination of automated approaches to detect the language) and platform. This process resulted in 61,592 human-written texts, which were further filtered out based on occurrence of some characters or their length, resulting in about 58k human-written texts.

The machine-generated part contains texts generated by 7 LLMs (Aya-101, Gemini-1.0-pro, GPT-3.5-Turbo-0125, Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2, opt-iml-max-30b, v5-Eagle-7B-HF, vicuna-13b). All these models were self-hosted except for GPT and Gemini, where we used the publicly available APIs. We generated the texts using 3 paraphrases of the original human-written data and then preprocessed the generated texts (filtered out cases when the generation obviously failed).

The dataset has the following fields:

• 'text' - a text sample,

• 'label' - 0 for human-written text, 1 for machine-generated text,

• 'multi_label' - a string representing a large language model that generated the text or the string "human" representing a human-written text,

• 'split' - a string identifying train or test split of the dataset for the purpose of training and evaluation respectively,

• 'language' - the ISO 639-1 language code identifying the detected language of the given text,

• 'length' - word count of the given text,

• 'source' - a string identifying the source dataset / platform of the given text,

• 'potential_noise' - 0 for text without identified noise, 1 for text with potential noise.

The hereby presented data are extracted from Meta, Tiktok and Twitter.

Gen Z and Millennials are the biggest social media users of all age groups.

This database is comprised of 951 participants who provided self-report data online in their school classrooms. The data was collected in 2016 and 2017. The dataset is comprised of 509 males (54%) and 442 females (46%). Their ages ranged from 12 to 16 years (M = 13.69, SD = 0.72). Seven participants did not report their age. The majority were born in Australia (N = 849, 89%). The next most common countries of birth were China (N = 24, 2.5%), the UK (N = 23, 2.4%), and the USA (N = 9, 0.9%). Data were drawn from students at five Australian independent secondary schools. The data contains item responses for the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS; Spence, 1998) which is comprised of 44 items. The Social media question asked about frequency of use with the question “How often do you use social media?”. The response options ranged from constantly to once a week or less. Items measuring Fear of Missing Out were included and incorporated the following five questions based on the APS Stress and Wellbeing in Australia Survey (APS, 2015). These were “When I have a good time it is important for me to share the details online; I am afraid that I will miss out on something if I don’t stay connected to my online social networks; I feel worried and uncomfortable when I can’t access my social media accounts; I find it difficult to relax or sleep after spending time on social networking sites; I feel my brain burnout with the constant connectivity of social media. Internal consistency for this measure was α = .81. Self compassion was measured using the 12-item short-form of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS-SF; Raes et al., 2011).
