A good number of those two billion user accounts are not real people. They are either additional alternate identities a person had created, or out-and-out fiction.

So why even tout the figure? It's obviously inflated. I would be surprised is if it is 500M actual users.

What % of American voters users Facebook? I would be surprised to see over 80%. Nothing has adoption rates that high.
