On June 27, 2017, Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder and current head of Facebook, announced in a post that his company had reached the threshold of 2 billion monthly active users worldwide, making Facebook the most popular social network in the world.
Despite recurring scandals such as the latest Cambridge Analytica affair and the ensuing calls to # DeleteFacebook, the number of active users rises continuously. As Sam Biddle from Gawker sarcastically put it with reference to a series of scandals involving Facebook in 2014, “the most valuable lesson for the company might be that it can keep creeping us out and violating its customers, over and over again, and none of us will ever delete our accounts”.
