Will it actually be "the first time in human history that two billion people all decided at once to give up on something"? How many users of leaded gasoline were there? I guess that wasn't "all at once", though.

You're right. If the government of the United States were to ban using Facebook, you'd probably see a lot fewer people using Facebook.

It looks like ~1-1.4 billion cars are driven every day now, which is an all-time high. So add "cars" to the original list.
