  • Nearly a quarter of the global population is now on Facebook. In the United States 79% of all internet users are on Facebook.
  • Without social media, environmental, ethical, political, and social ills would have minimal visibility. As issues have become more visible, the balance of power has moved from the hands of a few back to the masses.
