Facebook was started by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellowcomputer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.

The site lost7 million active users in the United States and Canada in May 2011 relative to previousstatistics.Criticism Facebook has been involved in many controversies over privacy. Some of thesecontroversies have been about people being able to see personal information that otherpeople post, and others are about companies and advertisers being able to see users'personal information. Research published in the journal PLOS ONE has shown that Facebook may beresponsible for spreading unhappiness through society as well as keeping people connected.Scientists found that the more time people spent on Facebook over a two-week period, theworse they subsequently felt. \"On the surface, Facebook provides an invaluable resource forfulfilling the basic human need for social connection. Rather than enhancing well-being,however, these findings suggest that Facebook may undermine it.\"https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook
