| Facebook's global usage (http://bit.ly/2kwdbL4) |
Now there is only one social media that rules over all of the rest, the undisputed king. That social media is Facebook. It seems like Facebook has been around as long as I can remember but in fact, it's only been around for under 15 years. So let's delve into all things Facebook.
History
Facebook first came to be in 2004, launched as a social networking site for Harvard University. In under a day, over 1000 students had signed up. The service was gradually rolled out to other Ivy League Universities and then all US universities, before being accessible to anyone by 2006. By late 2016, Facebook had over 1.7 billion active users; over a fifth of the world's total

Facebook Around The World
As we all know, Facebook is widely used around the world. While it was initially available in the US, it has taken the world by storm. There are over 190,000 users in the USA alone. However, not all countries are all for Facebook. Several countries have temporarily banned Facebook and currently North Korea, Iran and Vietnam have it blocked.
Cultural Impact
Facebook has changed the way we live our lives. It has revolutionised how we communicate, how we share our lives and how we consume information. It has had a great impact on politics, with more politicians turning to social media to build their platform with younger voters. This move was first used by Barack Obama, sealing him 70% of the under 25 vote. While Facebook has changed so much for us positively, it has also changed the way that people get bullied.
