The numbers in the description section are dating from June 30, 2016. However, if you follow the reference link (in its "Stats" section), new numbers have been published by Facebook, dating from September 30, 2016. I suggest that these numbers are updated so the article can be as accurate as possible. Babolivier (talk) 23:09, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Done Thank you for pointing that out! I've updated the number of employees to 15,724 and the number of active mostly users to 1.79 billion in the infobox per http://newsroom.fb.com/company-info/. Mz7 (talk) 03:33, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Facebook Advertisers often make a mistake and fail to comply with the Facebook Advertisement Policies, which results in their Ad Accounts getting Shut Down. This is the reason Banned Marketers are always seen crying for their Banned Facebook Accounts. This is a Compiled list of all the Facebook Policies which will help Facebook Advertisers in learning the Best Practices of Facebook Advertising.

"organization" is misspelled twice as "organisation" Fmiyata (talk) 20:29, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Yes check.svg Done See WP:ENGVAR. This is not a misspelling per se, but the spelling natural to speakers of British English and other variants. Nevertheless, this article is about an American company and should use the American variant consistently. Will change. General Ization Talk

Leak of internal rules for deletion[edit]

Facebook's internal rules for deleting content have been leaked to the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung yesterday. Maybe someone wants to incorporate information from this report (English) into the article. I don't know where it would fit best. AxelBoldt (talk) 19:18, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Please change "A joint study by two German universities discovered that one out of three people were more dissatisfied with their lives after visiting Facebook, and another study by Utah Valley University found that college students felt worse about their own lives following an increase in the amount of time spent on Facebook.[409][410][411]" to " A joint study by two German universities discovered that one out of three people were more dissatisfied with their lives after visiting Facebook, and another study by Utah Valley University found that college students felt worse about their own lives following an increase in the amount of time spent on Facebook.[409][410][411] . According to professor Schwatrz, the more frequently people go on Facebook and update their status the lower their self-esteem."[1]

Please add the following new paragraph in the end of section "Emotional health impact": Dr Flores explains that social-media users usually split their time between Facebook and interacting in the real world. Sharing experiences with fiends on Facebook, or when something entertaining happens in real life, people feel the need to share it might seem harmless, however at some point people begin to substitute one reality with another. As a result people start to change their behaviour and even their assumptions about live, love and friendships, based on the Facebook reality. In psychological terms, people can experience cognitive dissonance, namely the anxiety that they feel from holding two conflicting ways of perceiving the world. Such a discrepancy between perceptions and beliefs can damage people’s emotional balance and lead them to experience identity confusion, relationship conflicts, changes in judgement, and even psychotic break.[2] Dntodorova (talk) 09:13, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
