76 Million Facebook Fakes

Facebook has reported, in its annual report filed with the SEC, that more than 76 million of its 1.06 billion accounts are fakes.

The company identifies three types of accounts that don't represent actual users: duplicate accounts (53 million accounts), misclassified accounts (14 million accounts), and undesirable accounts (9.5 million accounts). Together, they sum to just over 7 percent of its worldwide monthly active users.
