Facebook: Over 83 million of our accounts are fake

JMH · Aug 2, 2012

As part of its first quarterly financial report as a publicly traded company, Facebook announced last week that it had 955 million monthly users worldwide. But does that tell the entire story? Perhaps not.

In a new and required filing made to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Facebook admitted that 8.7 percent of its user base may have "fake" accounts on the service. That amounts to over 83 million of Facebook's monthly user base.

Wow! Nearly 10% of their user base is 'fake' ... How do they qualify 'fake', well...the article breaks it out, sorta, but what the heck is 'undesirables' in Facebook's opinion? LOL!
