It is estimated that more than two-thirds of American adults use Facebook, with about three-fourths of them going on it each day. The platform has close to three billion users a month as of 2022, and many of these users access it on their phones. This can be compared to an average of one million per month in 2004, 100 million in 2008, approximately 800 million in 2012, and 1.01 billion in 2012. Instagram is at about 1.44+ billion monthly active users for 2022, and just like other social media platforms, postings are considered part of the public record.
