Facebook isn't going to lie on their quarterly filings on user growth. It's far more likely this random company's polling methodology is flawed.

Facebook lied about their video engagement numbers for a long time while telling others measuring it that their methodologies were flawed.

Enron and Arthur Anderson weren't going to lie on their quarterly filings either. Not saying it's true or false, but there's also the possibility that user count methodologies can change to create the appearance of growth.

How do you suppose that Enron "weren't going to lie" on their quarterly flyings? This analogy is a bit rich.

It's rich that you created an account specifically to make this comment. Lying on financial reports is not uncommon and there are high profile examples, so a sweeping appeal to honesty on the part of a multi billion company caught lying in the past is foolish.
