There are a lot of people that use the internet solely for Facebook.
Seriously.

In the 90s, grandma only used the internet to check email. Today, grandma only uses the internet to check Facebook.

A whatsapp desktop app that doesn't need your phone to be online to be used

Ftfy
>>
>>54302305
Nope. It's a full app with a rudimental browser for links, plus you need to install messenger as a separate app.
They both consume like 200 MB of ram

>Facebook, the one major corporation other than Microsoft that creates Windows Apps

>>54302355

>>54302397

I want this meme to end.

>>54298108
Does that include xbone?

I deactivated my account a couple of weeks back. Facebook is fake and gay and majority if people on it are inactive or bots.

>>54302301
>Yes, to most people.
actual answer is no
total internet users 3.2 billion approx.
total facebook users 1.6 billion approx.
