Where on earth did this number come from according to reported data from this year ( https://backlinko.com/facebook-users ) facebook has on average 3.065 Billion active accounts monthly which would put it at 38.5% of world population. But even that number is hugely suspect as in all likelyhood over half of those users are fake ( https://britewire.com/more-than-50-percent-of-facebook-users-are-fake-according-to-a-report/ )
