The last Pew Research poll shows 79% of "online" US adults use Facebook. That's equivalent to 68% of all US adults, which at least makes it seem plausible that half of all people with access to the internet use Facebook.

Extrapolating from the US number to people with different languages, cultures, and legal environments all over the world seems like a leap. For instance, Facebook is blocked in China.


But heavily used in other countries. Travelling through southeast Asia and India makes me believe that usage there could be even higher than in US or Europe, nearly everyone who has internet on their phone will use Facebook.
